Time to shell out again. I have always used Hill House Hammond but now they are part of NU, or whatever it was that happened, I expect a hike. Any recommendations from anyone?
Interestingly I have alway found HHH easy to deal with. Last month I got a letter from them, as part of NU, saying 3 weeks before renewal I would get a renewal pack etc. With 2 weeks to go nothing has shown. Does not bode well.

Hmn quite a positive response there, but...
I called HHH today (on a special renewal line)as with 2 weeks to go no renewal form received, although I got a letter 6-8 weeks back saying I would get get one with 3 weeks to go. Got tranferred to NU, in India I think. Having asked about the renewal and the premium I was put on hold as they had to go to an underwriter for the premium - now being in the insurance game although not motor, that staggers me. Anyway having listened to canned music for 5 mins I put the phone down. I then called HHH at Peterborough. As always very couteous and helpful, albeit they could not help very much, I now await a call from someone in NU. Which is all pretty much as I figured would happen along no doubt with a 50%+ premium hike. What I really liked about the Specialist unit was that they actually knew what an American car, and a Corvertte in particualr, was. I really don't want to have to talk to someone in India who has not got a clue.

Well I could repeat the same story re NU. Insurance ran out on 30/6 and I still have nothing from them. When I last called them, about the 28th they still had no record of my car on their system.
Interestingly Flux quoted £900 so I didnt even bother phoning them. A fair number of others were high too so I think we have lost a real genm in HHH. Anyway I went with Stevenage Insurance Services who got me £580 which was only £20 higher than HHH last year,and I raised the annual mileage from 12K to 15K, so well pleased.
