What are peoples thoughts on this? I currently have an insurance policy with Elephant. It is due to end on the 9th of this month. So of course I have started looking around on-line for quotes.
I noticed last year that just before my Elephant policy ran out that they disappeared from comparethemarket. (Elephant, Admiral, and Bell all went. They are usually the cheapest quotes I get)
This year exactly the same has happened. Elephant know my policy is coming to an end so they and their sister companies pull out of advertising on comparethemarket. So I decided to try something today after I had a ridiculous quote from a chat with elephant about continuing my policy with them.
I decided to change one letter of my name on the compare the market website. This could be seen as a typo. Instead of putting Taylor I put in Taylot (One letter away on the keyboard)
I changed no other policy details and instantly Elephant, Admiral, and Bell all were back in my online quotes. They had also managed to knock a whopping £600 off the quote I was given to on the phone for being an "existing valued customer"
Anyone else think that the way insurance run is crazy? Maybe if we make a typo every now and then it might possibly save us £600 haha.
