my insurance is due and the company I'm with no longer gives the facility to drive other cars third party on my policy

i find this a really handy feature and would like this again

basically struggling to find a company that will offer this facilitiy for someone under the age off 25

I'm 22,iv got 5 years no claims and no convictions at present

any help much appreciated!!!!!!

Once you are 23 my company may be able to do something for you..

A lot of companies have taken this facility away as it gets abused.

Seriously whats the difference between 22 & 23 appart from the obvious if you know what i mean,

While I'm here - i spoke to a representative of your company for a quote and was told id get a call back cause he was going out for a fag!! very very unproffesional, dont know what kind of company you guys are running but i wasent impressed at all!

the worst part is - he never called back!

Claims stats. Basicially 22 year olds are statistically a lot more likely to have a claim under their DOC entilement.

That is unacceptable and I absolutely agree with you. You have PM and I would like to offer my apologies for this as well. If you let me know your details by PM I will investigate this.

Thanks

Pretty curious as to how this feature can be abused? If you are insured to drive someone elses car third party, then surely it is fine no matter what context it might be in?

I would love to have that facility but I'm only 19..

And LOL at above!

Hi again OLOP 1L, I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't follow up on your comment, I am still very keen (as is our Sales Manager) to get to the bottom of this, you have another PM.

We are obviously still keen to provide you with a quotation and are happy to look at an extra discretionary discount due to the bad experience you had with us. As I say, we take this sort of thing very seriously.

I also feel (and please do not take this the wrong way) that it is unfair to post up such negative feedback without giving us the opportunity to investigate it and deal with it.

Thanks

Abuse , eg insuring a 1.0L Corsa, then driving someone elses Subaru Impreza under the DOC entitlement and then having a claim which costs the insurer thousands of pounds.

Ah I see, that makes sense a little more I suppose. But then again, as its 3rd party.. the claim would cost insurers the same amount whether they crashed in their 1 litre corsa or in a scooby wouldnt it?

Or is it because they are more likely to actually crash in the scooby.. due to peformance etc

..so older drivers are only allowed this feature because they are less likely to dick about in anyone elses car?
