It's insurance renewal time for my car. Since my current insurer wanted an increase of over 80% on my current premium (and won't compromise) I am shopping around.
I've noticed that all the quotes so far include "Free" insurance cover if I take my car to an EU country, but only for 30 days.
I've no intention of taking my car abroad, and the vast majority of people don't want to either. The latest data that I found showed that a maximum of 16% of drivers were even considering it. Which means that five out of six drivers -at least- don't take their car abroad.
Is this another way of squeezing more money out of the punter by forcing them to pay for a service that they won't use?
It's got under my skin so much that it made me start a new topic. Grrr!
