insurance rip off

[joeby]

Hi we have just moved house ,and when my wife phoned her car insurance company to notify them of her change of address, she had to pay an extra £56.00 for the 5 remaining months ,because they said it was a higher risk area ,and yet when i notified my insurance ,i didnt have to pay any thing ,nor did i pay any extra for the caravan ,so i think my wifes insurance is extracting the urine ,has any body else experienced this when moving house

Hi Will

Not all Police forces offer such option,only one i heard of was the Thames Valley

Ive heard that Kent offer it as well.

Looks like its time to shop around in 5 months time then and then see what your wifes insurance co has to say about that!

What I have done before now is to have a little play on confused.com about 4 weeks before renewal, so that my existing insurer who quotes through that knows I am shopping around.

I lived in Southsea (Portsmouth) a few years back and I moved from a quiet (or so I thought) area to right near 3 nightclubs.

I expected my insurance to go up

After shopping around on the web for car insurance i found Chuchill to be best for us , however our house insurance is with Prudental so asked them and they gave me a better quote using Churchill, i found that weird as well.
