I have discovered another rip off.
Last year a changed my car insurance to Churchill and was offered road side assistance at £25.50 this according to Churchill was a 50% reduced cost. So this year I got the renewal and it went up to £35.00 so about £45.00 with a so called 25% discount. The majority of the insurance companies use Green Flag so I went onto their web site and discovered that the same package i.e. basic road side assistance was less than £22.00!. Well I called Churchill and asked them to explain why they were charging so much and pretending to give a discount, they would not give me a satisfactory reply all the guy could say that they had to cover their costs !! So I asked someone “in the know” and discovered that insurance companies get a sort of finders fee from Green Flag so its even cheaper than the £21.50.
So I accused Churchill of misleading information and ripping off customers, the reply from the member of staff was “ everything is more expensive every year” so I cancelled my Churchill and went with another provider and got Green Flag assistance direct. SO WARN EVERYONE NOT TO TAKE OUT THESE POLICIES THROUGH THEIR INSURANCE PROVIDER IF THEY WANT IT THEN GO DIRECT TO GREEN FLAG OR A SIMILAR PROVIDER
