beware this Insurance Co! Just phoned them (20 mins wait time to get an answer) to change the (modern) car details and they have a £35 'Admin' charge to do this! Never ever experienced this with any other Insurance Co. They won't be getting my renewal business when this policy runs out.....

Not with this insurer but we have had admin charges imposed for fairly basic changes to the policy by another insurer it's how they make profits I guess

Name and shame lads! I used to be with More Than (who never charged for changes) - moved to this mob to save some cash - no mention of charges for changes until I had bought the policy......and I wasn't expecting to make any changes anyway.......

Roy, why don't you try RH for a quote?

Seriously? I mess RH about something terrible - adding the TR7 to the Minor policy then taking it off 3 months later - certainly no 'admin' charge although I do obviously pay for the additional insurance cover. The more I hear of Adrian Flux the less i like the sound of it........ Haven't thought of using RH for the modern car - but come October I certainly WILL be looking at all options. Hastings won't be seeing another penny from me........

Whilst I agree that charging for changes is unfair (other industries dont do it) I'm afraid to say this thread is in breach of T&Cs...
