This morning, I had quite a shock when I was checking my emails.
It’s that time of year for my car tax renewal, and where as last year, I was seeing lots of people complaining about the increase, this year virtually nothing.
So when I opened the email from Hastings Direct who I had changed too last year, to see this amount quoted for the next year, I couldn’t believe it.
£1.130.44
This was up from £696.21, why? A £434.23 increase.
I decided to take a walk to calm down
So I logged on to the go compare website and after confirming all the car details, I found a quote from the AA for £616.
So I then rang Hastings Direct and said about the new quote from them and even the person I spoke to was taken aback.
So after going through everything with him, he got the value down to £702.79.
I asked why he could get the quote down that low and not the original quote, and said he could put personal details in, where the quote was automated and can’t. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
After a quick chat with Claire, we decided to stay with Hastings Direct, as it was only £6+ increase and have the hassle of changing, even though the AA was cheaper.
Well see what happens next year.
