Price differentials between channels and brands has always been a problem for Insurers, but that is outrageous charging that much extra for handbag cover which is probably covered in most cases by personal possessions on a household policy!

Also don't the Government own these brands now? Maybe it's a job for the FSA to point out the deceptive advertising!
Keep up the good work and brand comparisons!

Customers are now so bombarded from all angles with outlandish claims to save 20% here , X number of pounds there that the thought of buying insurance based on the actual policy features and service are positively alien! It's the marketing that now sells personal lines insurance not the knowledge or professional advice given by the poor old broker! It was a sad day when the red telephone on wheels reared it's ugly head and killed off the small independant high street broker. The insurance buying public really need to wise up and see straight through the gimmicks be them the esure mouse , the singing Aussie's or the elephants in the jungle and get back to the real issues when choosing where to buy their insurance. <br/><br/>G'day! >Why are insurers obsessed by selling on price alone?

I said to her that they were all HBOS companies and suggested that she rang to see if they would price match to save on paperwork, but they refused.

So, looking at things from HBOS corporate point of view, rather than just take less money and cut their losses, they prefer to involve not one but two of their companies in needless paperwork, and make things harder for the customer – all to make less money.

Bonzer!
