No, just wanted to do it myself

I switched to Hagerty last year having been with Adrian Flux for yonks, but got fed up with their lengthy phone calls and endless on hold.

With Hagerty I have 1 insurance for each 4 of my classic cars which results in them being under £50 each. Plus they’re proper
Classic car enthusiasts and happy to have a chat about classicVolvo of which there are 2 in their office.

After doing the internet comparisons and proving that I could get it cheaper, I called my insurance company and they decided to renew at my existing cost. Why do we always have to play this silly game with insurance companies each year ?

I tried Peter James and they quoted £80 higher !

I might try Hagerty for my renewal on another classic, I like the idea of combining the purchasing power.

Try Classicline, I've used them for the past couple of years and found very favourable terms.

I'm looking for quotes at the moment; I've just tried to "give you a try for insurance" but I can't find the online quote link on your website. Everything that looks like it might be that ends up having no facility to do anything but book a phone call, with accompanying text implying that that is somehow an advantage, when in reality it guarantees that you will not get my business.

I find it extremely hard to follow even a trivial phone conversation at the best of times, and when it is about something complicated and awkward like car insurance it takes less than two minutes before I don't have a bleeding clue whether I'm coming or going. One of the biggest advantages of the internet is that it has - albeit all too poorly and sparsely - made it possible to do things like this without using the phone; it's still a nightmare, but at least it's a copable-with one. I may have to spend half a day hacking javascript to make the online quote page work at all because it has been written by an idiot, but at least I don't have to use the phone.
