Gadget Insurance Rip Off

Apologies in advance i wanted to have a Rant

Well here goes.....

I have 3 mobiles and 1 tablet insured with a well known gadget Insurance company, My policy came up for renewal and i got a quote for 11.88 per month to continue the policy... Great i thought, lets carry on... I just need to make one change, i no longer have the tablet so i can take that off the policy..

Called up the Insurance Company and after taking the tablet off the price goes UP to £15.42 per month.... So i am paying more for insuring less. How does that work?

When i asked the person, why the premium had gone up for insuring less. the response...." Thats what the computer says!" :mad:

If the computer says your a ****, would you tell me that as well

RANT OVER!!

Thanks

Does your house insurance cover these devices also?

If my computer said that I'd be straight down to the IT department to complain. It's spelt 'you're'.

Don't buy gadget specific insurance, just like you shouldn't buy mobile phone specific insurance.

Check out your bank or maybe even change, or as above look at house contents insurance.
