Sky Insurance - Discount for ROC members!

[MisterK]

Whilst it seems that a large number of members are getting cheaper cover from Sky over other providers, it does also work the other way!  I'm with AF & have been now for a number of years.  The year before last I thought I'd try Sky based on all the positive feedback on the forum.  Unfortunately, they couldn't get close to my AF quote and were about £200 more expensive.  Last year I tried again & fairplay, Sky still had all my details on file from the previous years quote.  Yet again they couldn't get anywhere near my AF quote and this time, were nearly double the amount.  On both occaisions the Sky adviser couldn't offer me any explanation as to why there was such a wide variation in prices.  Maybe its an age thing - I'm one of the older members!!  Needless to say I've stayed with AF.  It's an wierd world is the world of car insurance!!!

I don't see the point in having it then... It gives people false hopes of a cheaper policy

It works both ways, quite often a telephone quotation can be cheaper than the online facility.

Thats fair then.... But I can't see how that could happen when

The facility assumes most of your information for the better, eg limited mileage, max NCB, garage parking.

Unless you know how we work, it is difficult to explain.  Our best rates are given either via our specialist schemes or for classic car policies, quite often a customer will fill out the quick quotation facility and a certain detail of their risk will prevent our system from offering the specialist scheme rate of classic car rate,  in these cases , quite often once we have spoken to the customer we are able to place them onto our specialist scheme or offer a classic car policy, at a lower cost that the 'screen rate' offered by the online facility.

Thanks for your comment, any more, please post again.

Absolutely, Flux are the UK's largest broker and have some very competitive schemes.

It's always a challenge to make online quotation bots accurate and usable ... the two concepts are mutually opposed.
They can only really give an "indication" of the cost of cover.

If you keep them simple and easy to use then people use them and they have to accept that fine details will need to be worked out when negotiating with the broker. If you make them as accurate as possible then they become unwieldy and complex, then people won't use them. You should always view them as your "foot in the door", and move to talking to the broker if the initial estimate appears appealing to your pocket. There is a balance to be reached, but if you err too far the other side of the tipping point then you deter customers. It is ALWAYS worth having a human -to- human conversation to get the best from any deal, I think we all tend to avoid this nowadays with the lazy, or convenient, click of a few options on a page.

Spot on and thanks for posting.

Phone up!
Nick is spot on...
I love doing stuff on-line, it's easier and no waiting in queues... But with anything but straight forward goods I don't think I've ever got a better deal online. There always seems to be some room for manoeuvre where there are a few factors to take into consideration so it's worth phoning up and bartering.

[grsymons]

Hi Ollie,

Good to see you are still knocking about the mr2 forums, I will certainly be in touch for a quote in a couple of months when my engine swap is completed.
Still got the mk1.5?

Got a phone quote from Sky on the turbo set up. Very competitive quote, so I have placed the business with Sky for this year. I would suggest others give them a go, they have a good scheme for MR2s at the moment and can cover extensive mods.

I have to say the customer service was very good, but the price was not, they were still £100 more expensive than my renewal from Flux, all because of a cat   s:evil: :evil: s:evil:    s:evil: :evil: s:evil:    s:evil: :evil: s:evil:

Do you insure multiple care on one policy and can you mirror NCB as I am the sole driver of 2 cars and can only drive one at a time!

[dobermann]

quoted £360 for my 2 by sky, £170 more than iam paying now

[JoeCool]

No Sky quote for me as I do not have any no claims bonus to put on the policy. Annoying given a 17 year unblemished driving record and the MR2 being insured as a second car!

[onion86]

Happy to say I've taken up a policy back with Sky again today after a few years away due to a very competitive renewal and pre-acceptance of some mods I will be making in the near future, top work  s:) s:)
