Yes it's a fine line and I could have used the word imply but I chose infer
So, are you inferring that you could have used imply when you chose to use infer? That seems to be the implication!

I think "assertion" would be more correctSo, are you inferring that you could have used imply when you chose to use infer? That seems to be the implication!
I've rang insurers a few times after receiving offers like that. In every instance they've matched the online quote over the phone. Once I got them to improve it but that was a few years back.Aviva are inferring that if I call to renew it will cost me more than the online quote that they have provided
but based on my experience since this thread started and all my posts about renewing, I've found the opposite
Mrs C rang Aviva today and as per the email, Aviva will only offer the "call to renew" priceHas your wife phoned them to see if she can get a cheaper premium over the phone than the online one?
Even if you get a quote close to their "minimum premium" it's still worth while calling to see if it can be betteredNo, I usually get a cheaper quote, and one that's as close to the insurer's minimum quote that's it's but work haggling further, by simply shopping around online. It's years since I bothered to phone anybody.
I didn't renew my renewal quote but applied as a new customer and was offered the €310 about €50 cheaper than renewal. I contacted them through one of their online forms and advised them to transfer across my No Claims details to my new policy.So in the end Mrs C has her policy with everything included, journey wise, Protected NCB with step back, the lowest Excess
I got a phone call in respect of my complaint from Aviva.However it hasn't stopped the emails and almost daily texts reminding me to renew my old policy, running out of time, please renew now, type of thing. I have had to resort to making a complaint to stop them.
Funnily enough Mrs C renewed her insurance as a new customer on MondayHowever it hasn't stopped the emails and almost daily texts reminding me to renew my old policy, running out of time, please renew now, type of thing. I have had to resort to making a complaint to stop them.
No, similar story for me and I'm a bit younger - my car insurance jumped a similar amount with Aviva - they offered a lower premium when I rang them, but still way too high, so I went elsewhere.Am I correct to assume that the fact that I'm turning 70 later this year may explain this crazy premium increase?
Could also simply be due to changes in their actuarial criteria whereby they change the the sections of the market that they want to focus on? Impossible to tell really unless you can get them to explain. Shop around obviously.Am I correct to assume that the fact that I'm turning 70 later this year may explain this crazy premium increase?
I am with Allianz, my renewal is up €3.50 this year, happy with that.
They don’t allow add-ons to get to their minimum premium, some other insurers do allow add-ons to get to their minimum premium.Surely you could have been more selective in your choice of add-ons to get closer to €283+ than €340?
My basic price is €200, their minimum is €283 so they add €83 on to my basic price and then add the add-ons.I'm a bit confused by the point that you're trying to make to be honest. You seem to be saying that they don't allow you to top-up the €200 quote with add-ons when that's exactly what you did?
Ok, I understand now. Thanks.My basic price is €200, their minimum is €283 so they add €83 on to my basic price and then add the add-ons.
