HIC have done it again.

[Adam]

Had my renewal through, £394 including breakdown cover,drive other cars,track cover etc.
Had a few other quotes from sky/brentacre etc, all of which were £480+ without breakdown cover.

So i rung up hic to renew today, also changed my occupation over from my last job, expecting it to make fook all difference.
"I'll just requote you with the new details"

"The premium has increased, to £549"

£150 more for a change of job :confused:

I explained i wasn't going to pay that, and had had cheaper quotes elsewhere
"Oh, i'll see what i can do"

"Ok ive had a word with my supervisor, and the best we can do you is £399"

£150 off because basically they got a bit worried i was going to hang up lol

RESULT :cool:
Cheers Rob @ HIC :D

[Saloony]

I had the same problem with them.. i basicly let my policy run out, then rang up as a new customer, the saving was huge.

[chimp007_uk]

i'm witht hem for the nova xe, fc track cover etc, but after the weekends problems, i had to insure the 306, cost me £501 with HIC, but started at £612 lol

Brilliant stuff!

[Andy]

They gave me an utterly abismal quote on my 1 litre

[Jack]

HIC have been close-ish on the Novargh to Sky, but the latter offered a better policy. On the Celica, they were way more expensive!

What was the change in employment from and to btw?

[SRimon]

Rentboy, hence it was higher

[General Baxter]

beejee cover band lol

[peester]

[Adam]

What was the change in employment from and to btw?
From I.T/Office based, to industrial/warehouse

[draper]

From I.T/Office based, to industrial/warehouse

thats because anyone who works in an office is deemed sensible and warehouse monkeys arent

(not saying your a monkey, monkeys dont have hair that long/wild :p )

[Adam]

Aye.
I just didn't expect the increase to be so much TBH.

Just because ive changed where i work doesn't make my drive any quicker lol

you what?? your griping for £480?? i pay just shy of £2000 3rd party fire and theft on a 1.4 mk3 astra!! id be well chuffed with £480!!

[Adam]

And? lol
Everyones been in that situation.
And a 1.4 mk3 astra is not a cheap car to insure, suprisingly high insurance groups

How old are you/ how many ncb.....?

[NASTYNOVA]

not gripin cos i have to pay that, worth every penny!! 19, with none yet, my insurance company are nobs anyway, they class it as a sports car!! (dont get how??)

[Adam]

Sounds about right for your age TBH.
The lowest group on a 1.4 astra is 6 iirc.
I paid £1100 on my first year, on a grp3 1.2i

[Jack]

They were probably just nobbing it on then, the only occupations which endure a decent hike in premium are things like journalism, motor trade and military/civil service (on a base).

[Rexy]

lmfbo and guess which i come under.... Might change my trade to a noncy office boy again then :D WOooo cheaper insurance.

on that i paid 2k I **** you not, 2k for a corsa sport 1400 at 18 with 0NCB and i was rather chuffed with that and happily paid it. Oh being young and nieve.

[Riggy]

pmsl 2k that was bad lol ,

im payin 1200 now , but it is on a 2.2 sri astra and a nova xe with **** loads of mods lol

[draper]

im waiting till i hit the magical 25 next year before insuring a car this time
