Got a mk4 golf last week and I'm a bit pissed off about the insurance, the insurance policy on my old car, Rover 25, is due to expire in September, I wanted to change it over to the Golf and they told me there's a £26 charge to change it over. is this normal? I'm with Direct Line, have been with them for over 10 years. Seriously considering switching to Swift.
-
yeah its normal, just an admin charge most companies do it.

As above, I am with the AA and they charge £25 admin charge.
-
yeah admin fee, you're quite lucky.
Week before I got my car my insurance company told me £120 to change over for 2 weeks from 1.3 Fiesta to Golf.
Rang them the day I was due to pick it (like 5 days after the previous call)
"Sorry, you have been declined. There is no record of you ringing and getting a quote for this reg"
It's fair to say - I was Fuming.

Yes - that's because you were changing cars, the admin fee would probably be that £20 or so. What the OP means is just for the privilege of being able to change the insurance, even if it's the same make/model & year you still pay the admin fee of about £20-£30, which for 10mins work is pretty steep and a bit of a rip off.

I know the OP is only paying an admin fee, I'm talking about my situation.

Get a couple of other quotes and if you can get a cheaper one they will probably match it rather than lose bussiness.
