Cheers Han! I will get a good deal for you one day!  :wink:

As Han said i will always try for you whereas some times others may not and just move on to the next call in hope of getting an easier quote, my boss often gets on my back for taking too long to try and get a deal for someone.

We all have access to the same rates but obvoiusly some of the more experienced staff know the schemes better so can see ways of getting deals that others dont or know how to talk the boss into doing a deal after years of practice!  :laugh: :wink: I have been at HIC for 9 years now!!!!!!!!!  :shocked:

Han is not in the happy HIC insured club yet despite my efforts, like i said i cannot always get deals however much i want too!  :smiley:

Tim is a top bloke and fellow dubber so im sure if he coulda helped you he would  :sad:

Fully comp for young drivers can be a struggle sometimes and although we can usually offer much better cover than the likes of Admiral we cant always be the cheapest

Well maybe next time eh?  :wink:

Fair play,the guy knew what he was talking about, very polite too. Never mind my insurance is all sorted now. I'll continue to give you a call everytime it's due for renewal and see next time! :smiley:
