Here's an interesting thing, the renewal for the cat's insurance with More than came the other day, £138. Then I had an email from More than offering to complete the renewal online, which I would have done anyway, so I followed the link, filled in the form and lo and behold £50 cheaper. I know that when you take out any insurance for the first time it's cheaper to do it online as you are not taking a person who has to be paid's time up but why is there such a large hike in the price when it's just a renewal no doubt processed by computers anyway.
Another example of insurance company bollocks is recently my brother and his wife had a holiday booked for 6 weeks in South Africa but due to unforeseen circumstances they needed to delay it for a month. The holiday company they booked with were very good and said it would cost £200 to change the booking. The insurance company refused to pay the £200 but instead gave a full refund for the trip of £6000. WTF.
