BMW Insurance

[dasbimmerowner]

I've currently got an annual policy with BMW for my car and was expecting a renewal through at some point soon but haven't had one. I logged into the BMW insurance portal and it said that "Unfortunately we are not able to offer a renewal quote for your policy". That's a little odd I thought, I've never had an issue getting cover previously; the car isn't modified, no horrendous claims etc, then I spotted on their website that the only offering from them now appears to be BMW Flex insurance. Anyone had the same thing happen with them recently?

I stand corrected; they've just emailed a renewal (~25% up on last year), says they've changed underwriters to Highway Insurance Company Ltd.

So whilst car insurance on average dropped 14% in Q1 of this year mine somehow, for it sitting on the driveway goes up 25%. Bye bye BMW insurance then!

I thought I'd got a fairly competitive offering on the new BMW insurance - until I realised they wanted £250 A MONTH!!!

I moved to BMW Flex this year after Tesco tried to sneakily double my previous years cost. Was pleasantly surprised by the quote, Beemer insurance was easily on par with the Meerkats.

I worked out why my insurance quote was up. It's because some idiot gave my reg as having driven into them when that wasn't the case (was at home on the day in question and it was alleged to have taken place miles and miles away and obviously my car was undamaged and I could prove that). Whilst I have an email saying my insurance is satisfied I wasn't involved, it's still not fully sorted so I still have a pending at fault on my insurance. Hugely frustrating!

I'll be back on the phone trying to sort it tomorrow.
