  1. When I was toying with quotes, it was actually cheaper to say I parked it on the driveway than the garage,

     

    And if you told them you parked the car on the street you`d probably find the quote would be even cheaper. When I queried this with one company, as to why they would charge me less for leaving my car on the street, rather than in a locked secure brick garage, with a rottweiler wandering about, with 3 cars blocking the garage door, all behind secure steel gates, they simply said that if the cars on the street then people are more likely to see/disturb a car thief. If the cars in a garage, then once the thief is inside he can spend as long as he wants damaging/hotwiring the car. To my mind, surely "out of sight, out of mind" should come in here. If the cars in a garage then any passing thief wont even know its there and just move on to someone elses car which they have left on their drive. But, thats not how insurance companies work.

     

    Agree thats what i was told too. Also many accidents happen while getting the car into / out of the garage so garage quotes often end up higher

  2. They ask questions for a reason, lying or being economical with the truth to get a cheaper quote may seem like a good idea in the short run but its crazy. If anything happened, especially if its serious, they will go through the policy with a fine tooth comb to avoid paying out and they are rightly justified in doing so. If you purposefully distort the truth and get bitten tbh you deserve it.

     

    I've just done my renewal. Shot up from £423 to £555, but then i knew once in a blue moon i travel to work in the zed so i needed to add commuting to the policy. I also plan a couple of europe road trips so i upped the annual mileage from 8k to 12k. I also ensured the policy allowed me more than 30 days driving in Europe. Could i have conveniently missed this off the policy and saved some money, yes. Did I, hell no i'm not taking the risk. If something goes wrong they pay out not me. I also then bargained them back down and got a quote i was happy with. In the meantime i can sit back and relax knowing i am fully covered.
