Hi guys, not sure if this happens to anyone else so figured I'd ask...
Over the past month I've been scraping together money for my first car (just passed my test last week). I've been using comparison sites to get quotes on a number of different cars.
At first I used Compare The Market. I was consistently getting really decent quotes from Admiral that were far cheaper than all of the other results. However, after a week or 2 and several quotes later, they stopped quoting me. I tried getting a quote on their actual website, and the price was ridiculous despite having given them the same information.
So I switched to using Confused.com and had a similar scenario... consistently getting nice quotes from Tesco Bank that were miles cheaper than the rest. Then today whilst getting a quote, they stopped quoting me. Tried getting a quote direct from their site, and the price had almost doubled.
Do the insurers not like getting repeated quotes from the same person that hasn't yet bought, or is it just these companies deciding to raise their prices?
