Car Insurance cancellation fee query

tommybhoy · 26 Aug 2013 at 15:22

Just phoned the AA for a quote regarding changing my policy for a new car.

CS informed me that there is a £97 fee as the current underwriters won't insure the new car so I have to cancel current insurance(2 months in) and start a new 12 month one.

I was informed it's not technically a cancellation, it's some kind of early termination and the payment is for DLP/courtesy car cover.

If I leave the AA completely and take my business elsewhere, they charge an admin fee on top which tops out £125 all in.

Is this all right enough?

Anyone got any advice on how to get out of the payment?

Regards, tommy

How much Is your current years insurance?
What vehicle are you changing to?

Probably better to pose this question in Motors, fella. :cool:

Thanks, but found a solution.

Going to use my policy to insure the missus car as her policy will upgrade to cover my car, but rest assured bye bye AA car Insurance when the policy is up.

Pretty sure my brother had this hassle when he was dealing with my grandads insurance via kwikfit. They wouldn't cover food delivery and wanted to charge for the termination.

He had worked at kwikfit insurance and got it cancelled for no fee as far as I remember.
