Title: VW Insurance having a larf
Post by: vidman2 on 12 November 2015, 15:03
I enjoy a joke as much as the next man but having just arranged the free 5 day insurance for my new R they also sent me a quote for £564 for an annual policy - given that my current ins co have quoted me £260 what planet are VW on??

5 Days? Stingy b@st@rds. When I bought mine more than a year ago they used to give 1 week.

Dealer provided insurance always makes me laugh. Always ridiculously high, and usually with a ridiculous excess as an added bonus!

A lot of people don't shop around for insurance and perceive 'VW Insurance' as being premium so they go for it. And they only need half the number of customers as other companies - as they charge double!

They were wanting £750 for my GTD and over £1000 with my daughter on it  :angry:

Direct Line are £155 for me and £235 with my daughter on it.

Needless to say it wasn't a hard decision   :grin:

They rang me and said £650, I laughed and said no thank you I will sort my own out. The reply I got was, do you want me to speak to my supervisor to see if I can get a better deal."

He wasn't to happy when I told him I expected him to give me his best deal before giving me an obscene price to test his luck. I wonder how many gullible people fall for it and just pay the full premium.
