Hi Tim,
Nice to see a more ‘non-generic’ post from you, which IMO and i’m sure many others is appreciated more than (no pun intended) the generic style posts that can be seen across multiple car forums!
IMO it would be preferable for enthusiast members of this forum to see real feedback from people we know, maybe people from the forums themselves? Who have had quote experience or taken a policy with yourselves.
Its no doubt easy for there to be feedback from ‘happy customers’ who have had ‘huge’ savings etc etc when you are dealing with so many enquiries per day…..no doubt many of these savings are based on people who have hit the magical number of ticked boxes and who’s quotes would reduce regardless of whom they switched insurance providers to anyway?
I’ve been a Subaru owner for coming up to 19years now! (many of the variants owned) and the only way I can judge the cost of insurance is come renewal time, whereby its either gone up or gone down! no amount of posts suggesting that insurance costs have dropped or risen makes a difference to me, the only time it matters is when my policies are due for renewal.
Most of us are probably now at a plato when it comes to insurance cost for these types of cars and as such savings of £100+/year just isn’t going to happen that often!
Not trying to put you off advertising on the forum (not my place to do so and I don’t know or want to know what has been agreed with regards to advertising within the forums) just trying to put over some feedback…….. it would be better IMO to see an active participation on a more personal level than the generic style that has been adopted so far……… it may also be advisable for you to try and promote a more car specific insurance as many members will require track cover over a Halfords M.O.T. (which most people on a Subaru forum will not benefit from for numerous reasons)
I for one will out of courtesy obtain a quote upon renewal from yourselves and will give honest feedback on the forums for everyone to see, however, my renewal on the first car isn’t until July. I will be amazed if you can beat the service provided by my current broker though (whom I have faith in following his attentive dealings with a non-fault accident a few years back, when the insurance provider was shall we say less than adequate! so its not always about cost)
If you look at other sections of the forums you will see countless posts from people thanking another highly regarded broker for the services provided, without the need for the broker in question to post numerous times ‘information’ regarding the insurance industry and or quotes from happy people we do not know! this obviously works well for both them and many of us, perhaps its a stance you guys could use to your benefit?
Hope this helps as feedback…..
