Hi to all!

Just to let you know that over the next few weeks, I will be on annual leave though I do hope to have sporadic internet access.

This means I won’t be able to answer pm’s or questions on here immediately.

 

Should the need arise for anything urgent, please feel free to ring the team directly on 0800 3308057, or 0333 4001580 if calling by mobile. They are a friendly bunch as some of you have already discovered and seen from comments on other forums!

 

With kind regards

 

Tim

I love the constant "bigging up" advertising and a complete absence of any acknowledgment of our members comments about price.

[captainredeye 0]

In the end for me Adrian flux £291 vs prestige £540 and that was with forum discount

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Hi Kevin

 

Unfortunately, we do understand we can't be the best for everyone - would be nice if we could! - but we do acknowledge all comments. We are constantly working in the background scrutinising all areas of the scheme.

 

And as we ask for feedback, so too we give feedback as to how things are going. The thing about forums is that they are much more likely to have 'negative' posts written than positive.

 

On a few forums in July, they had a very high percentage take up on our scheme but there were very few comments stating this :(

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Hi

Just to let you know I am away until 10/9/12 so won’t be able to answer any pm’s or questions on here until then. However the team are waiting to take your call!

 

This feedback was posted this week –

 

Prestige definitely treated me right :)

Beat all the competitors quotes and even found out for me about modifications, their value and even buying the car back in event of anything happening.

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Hi to all!

 

Please don’t forget to ring us if your car insurance is due in September! 0800 3308057 or 0333 4001580 if ringing by mobile.

mines m£ga ch££p compared with the quote i got from prestige!!

[captainredeye 0]

Has any one on here taken up a policy with prestige? Find it hard to believe a member of this forum wouldn't say anything if they did considering they found out about it through this thread.

[sexybourbon 0]

Ill give classic line a call cheers mate wont be using prestige again inless they knock about 350 quid off my insurance quotes

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Thanks to those who have rung for a quote.

 

We have already beaten July’s record for people taking out policies with us this month, and we have another third of the month to go!

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Hi to all!

 

Just to let you know I will be away from this Saturday, 29th September, and am back on Monday 8th October so I won’t be able to answer questions or pm’s on here for that period.

 

The quoting & customer service teams will still be there of course so please feel free to ring the team on 0800 3308057 (or 0333 4001580 if calling by mobile) if you have any queries.

 

 

Many thanks.

Tim

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Please ring us if your car insurance renewal is due in October because...........

 

We did twice as much business in September than we did in our previous best month, July!!!

 

 

 

Here is some latest feedback -

 

• Just got a renewal quote from Prestige, the missus said it was great to talk to someone who knew what they were on about and didn’t treat her like a fool. On top of that we saved 40 quid. Not a fortune but then again who could moan at £350 all in and no poxy exclusions for it being a Cabriolet (don’t laff, a lot exclude theft from inside the car and personal injury).

 

• Just called; very encouraging conversation with Tony. Just need to wait for my renewal to come through now.

 

• Cheers for all your help yesterday and getting one of yours guys to call me and go through everything i would get and giving me a great price at the end of it expect a call from me very soon to seal the deal

 

• Can't thank the guys at Prestige enough.

 

• I gave them a hard time with tough demands and they managed to beat my ‘XXXXXX’ quote by £40

 

• Couldn't fault their customer service at all

 

• Must say a big thanks and also sorry to the guys at Prestige. I've been with ‘XXXXXX’ for the last few years and they've always been pretty decent, last year I was quoted £805 with me and the missus on the car 5 years NCB but this year they wanted £839, still a good price but not what you'd expect. So I rang Prestige and they managed get it down to £725

 

Look forward to you ringing! 0800 330 8057 or 0333 400 1580 for mobiles

If Asda can put how much money they can save you compared to Tesco on national television instead of ************ think you can do it on here. We do it in the pub trade bt you can only put the competitions name and prices if the figures are accurate hmmmm.

It's an interesting point. I'm not a great lover however of naming other insurers where we have beaten their quotes. To be honest, I don't really like what they do on TV when they mention their competitors either.

 

I'd rather our quotes and customer service speak for themselves! :)

Interesting article!

 

Car insurance and the gender directive

 

Here’s an article from ‘Which.co.uk’ (in case you haven’t seen this!) (Taken from http://www.which.co.uk/money/insurance/guides/insurance-gender-discrimination-rules/car-insurance-and-the-gender-directive/)........

 

“Women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise from December 2012.

Car insurance is one of the main areas that is being affected by the European ruling on gender. Historically, gender has been used alongside the type of vehicle, the age of the driver, the postcode of the driver and the insured’s driving history, among other factors, to calculate the car insurance premium rate of the individual.

 

Likely impact on car insurance premiums

Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge different rates according to the gender of the applicant. Claims data highlighting that young male drivers have considerably higher accident rates and claims costs than young women will now not be allowed to be used when insurers set premiums. A male driver under 21 is twice as likely to have an accident as a woman of the same age.

 

This will mean that women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise, while their male counterparts should see their rates decline. There has been some speculation that insurers will maintain high premium levels for young men and raise rates for young women drivers to match these.

 

What car insurers are doing

Car insurers are adjusting their risk rating and pricing models to be able to offer gender-neutral quotations by 21 December 2012.”

 

 

And the article finished with –

 

“It's more important than ever to shop around when your renewal quote arrives, particularly if the gender ruling should lead to a fall in your premium. Renewal quotes rarely offer best value.”

 

 

Don’t forget to ring us at renewal therefore ;)

[Tim@Prestige 10]

Just to let you know that over the next 10 days, I’m out of the office a fair bit. However any queries or questions can be answered by the team on 0800 3308057 or 0333 4001580.

 

This month, we are close to beating our September record so, if you’re car insurance renewal is due, please give us a call! One person sent me a pm last night saying he’d just taken out a policy with us yesterday after we saved him £181!

 

Here’s some feedback from this month –

 

• Phoned you guys up and you saved me about £400 off my renewal. Happy chappy over here.

 

• Have just agreed cover with Chelsea, who is brilliantly friendly and efficient. I have also saved £210 compared with my existing insurer's renewal quote. Absolutely delighted.

 

• Just renewed my insurance. For a modded Mk2, (insurance company1) wouldnt quote, (insurance company2) wouldnt quote, (insurance company3) dont quote anymore. (insurance company4) was the same quote as (insurance company5). (insurance company6) was by far the most expensive at £666, Cheapest for me was Prestige at £495, all mods declared.

 

• Thought I might add something to this since Prestige help me out with my insurance. My renewal quote was about £1000 from my current insurance company, couple of quote later from people and they are hovering around the £500-£600 mark. Phone call to Prestige and the price dropped down to around £450. Well happy. And thank you guys very much. I can't recommend you enough.

 

• Prestige have quoted me happy to the tune of £250 better off across my two vehicles. That'll do for me.

 

• Spoke to a chap called Tony, very friendly guy, and seems to know his stuff! He finally called me back with a quote that's £200 under my renewal quote! It's the first time ever I've paid under £400 for insurance on my S3 in 10years+(sign of old age), so MEGA happy!

 

• Great quote from prestige on the my 8L S3 - £420 fully comp :)

“Women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise from December 2012.

 

Good! It's about time!

 

This will mean that women drivers under the age of 25 will see their premiums rise, while their male counterparts should see their rates decline.

 

Haha, as if. Who are they trying to kid?

 

There has been some speculation that insurers will maintain high premium levels for young men and raise rates for young women drivers to match these.

 

Yep. There's no speculation at all. That is precisely what they will do. Insurers are in it purely for profiteering, not for the benefit of their customers.

Hi to all!

 

***** OCTOBER – RECORD MONTH FOR POLICIES TAKEN OUT *****

 

Please don’t forget to ring us if your car insurance is due in November because......................................

 

.........last month was our best month of the year for policies taken out – September more than doubled our previous best (July) and October beat September!

 

Here is just a portion of the feedback received in the last few weeks about our scheme -

 

• Dunno the lass's name that dealt with me, but very helpful service, called back on time, very friendly and a good price. Good Times!

 

• Very very happy with what I was quoted

 

• Well I'm waiting with bated breath for the quote to see if it beats ‘X’ and ‘Y’....! It'll be great if it does and I must say that the person called back exactly when they said they would, I have not had to wait in queues and I'm impressed with the service on the telephone. THat's a major point as many on here become very disillusioned with a company if they keep failing to get through. Definitely good service and I'll report back again if I'm happy with the quote.

 

• Well I've got to say I'm extremely pleased with the service I've received today. Spoke to two advisors, Chelsea and after she went home, David. Both extremely helpful and courteous doing exactly what they said they'd do. And to top it all my premium is less than my renewal with ‘X’ and has £150 less excess too! I will recommend you to others and can say to folks on here, give them a try, they've been exceptional with me.

 

• ive just gone with these guys. 545 fully comp, saved 110 squid on my renew.

 

• Just to let everyone know these guys are bomb sortede out big time!!!! So sign up for the best customer service insurance company Iv ever come across.

 

 

So please feel free to ring us on our freephone number 0800 3308057 or if ringing by mobile, this landline 0333 4001580.
