Car Insurance, need a decent quote.

[SunnySpain]

Hiya,

We require a decent insurance quote for the car as I think we are paying way over the odds. A company offered to give us a quote as long as we provide them with details of our current policy including the policy number.

I think its a con, as surely they will then know exactly what we pay now and offer us insurance a little bit cheaper and call it a discount

Any suggestions would be really appreciated

......You phone them up and they organise a hire care and get the car taken to the nearest garage and repaired!!!!!!!

hhhmmm, we've obviously experienced different ends of the Ibex efficiency scale!!!

Hi Dave,

This is a price comparison website and excellent for getting back to your company to say "oi, I'm being offered this from these companies...." Recently used by my husband and strongly recommended by him! Please note that you do have to give no claims years and the company you're with now - but no insurance policy number. The policy number is something your current company can give if they so choose when asked to confirm what you've stated.

Good luck and happy shopping.

(ps - the website's Spanish and if you want to avoid grey areas, stick to Spanish record as 15 years no claims in the UK with a non-Spanish presence company carries no weight here - again, as experienced by us, although things like the first year 30% no claims intro offers like in the UK are also popular here, especially now I would have thought).

They argue for 3 weeks that the garage is too far from the breakdown. Did I ask to break down in the culo del campo? They refuse to pay for the taxi fare. After 3 weeks you give in and bribe el gruista and then after 6 weeks of them pushing you from pillar to post and through offices, headoffices and repeated conversations with everybody from the toilet cleaner to the president who cant understand why they have lost a fax 3 times they refuse to pay. Altogether nearly 800 euros out of pocket!
