Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Now that we have a shiny new car, I decided to compare insurers to see if I could avoid having to have another Co-op Young Driver smartbox fitted. Cheapest "normal" insurance for me, OH and 2 boys (18 and 20) was RAC @ £1,541. Then came across Aviva insurance - £950 for all of us with the option of a discount if you "testdrive" a smartphone app which records 200 miles of driving (only by the main driver), gives you a score and a potential 20% discount. I think they only need 5,000 drivers to test the app so I may be too late but it's still quite cheap at £950. I might be ditching Co-op (renewal only a month away) .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Have been looking at reviews for Aviva and they are abysmal . I'm now looking elsewhere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I gave up looking at review sites after many hours of looking - it appears that a lot of good reviews are left by people who have never had to make a claim.........and everyone who has made a claim was not happy with their insurer, whichever insurer it was.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Decided just to stick with the Co-op - much less hassle. The main reason I thought I might try and change insurers was to avoid having my lovely shiny new car ripped apart to put a smartbox in it . I've been warned my premium may go up when it's up for renewal in October cos we have a new car now . Don't think it'll be too much though.
