I went today to renew my car insurance. I have used the same broker for 2 years with no problems....until today.
After being in the brokers for nearly an hour,(I was told that his system was down, but at least 12 locals were sorted out by his partner whilst I was sat there) and supplying him with my tax number, passport number and residency number he eventually gave me a quote that was 61% more than last year!! I politely told him that I was not happy with his quote and told him I would shop around.
I walked up to Baris Sigorta, and asked the lady working in there to get me a quote. This she promptly did, and gave me a quote that was less than 10% more than last year. It pays to shop around!!

Same in the UK I'm afraid. My house insurance comes up next week. It was £31 per month. Renewal £48 per month. I rang them to ask them why it had gone up and the guy blamed inflation! I cancelled on the spot - went on to Confused.com and got a quote through the same company for £28 per month. Now I've gone elsewhere and found it even cheaper.
The company we were with was part of RBS - Privilige. Shysters!

1 of the reasons I've decided to quit running a cab here in Brighton was my renewal of £1623.26, at 51 with a clean licence I was disgusted, under £1000 last year so something like a 60% increase & as much as I shopped around I couldn't get it much cheaper!
Anyone know what the average cost of scooter insurance is in Turkey, cos that's what I'll be riding?

I have a scooter here in Turkey. The first year was 17tl, this year it was 32tl. What it will be next ?????:D

I own 2 Vans in my business. My Son who is 27 drives one and is insured with Direct Line. Last year £360, this year £3,200. I couldnt believe it. Have insured now with Hastings Van Insurance but it still cost £860. I asked 'why so much' and was told it was due to the floods last year!!! 'Rip Off Britain' :(

Lin we were with Fortis for the first 2 years (2.0ltr Berlingo)we paid about 840 each year, when it came up for renewal 3 months ago it was 1100tl.
I moved to Allianz ( Alper from ING got me some quotes his bank was to expensive) I think their office is above McDonalds, was 730tl and I got a copy of the policy in English as well.

There is fresh air above MacDonalds:D and Burgerking, which I think is where Lin mean't. The Allianz office that was above the Turkish airlines office has moved, it is now in the street behind, right opposite LC Wakkiki, up to the first floor.
