I have just moved two car insurance policies away from Churchill in a month due to what I can only describe as a complete pricing lottery. 5 years plus of business, 3 motor policies and they have just sent me out two renewals asking more than double the market rate on each.
Even more worrying, I called them today. They were asking £480 on a policy that Go Compare quoted £183 for. Their own quote on Go Compare was £199. They immediately offered to price match that. So I could have easily paid them £480 for a product they offered later for £199.
Worse, I said I would have a little think and ring them back. I decided to move the policy to Privilege, so I called Churchill to cancel the renewal. Just out of interest, I didn't mention the Go Compare quote and was told '£320 is the absolute best we can do'.
Never mind Go Compare, Go Figure. In 48 hours I have been quoted £480, £320 and £199 on the same product. Bit of a variation.
Being ripped off for being loyal is not OK. I fully expect to move the 3rd policy in the summer. Service has never been a problem from Churchill, but I will not stand being treated as a cash cow. Very disappointing, and a lesson learned for me not to be a lazy consumer or expect fair treatment.
