AON what would you do??

[dwarfslapper]

I took out a classic car policy with AON back in December with a 5000 mile limit which i have nearly done so i gave them a call to see if i could up the miles.which went like this
Me.. can i up the miles
AON.. no
Me.. well there must be somthing we can do??
AON... dont drive it! its not supposed to be a daily runner
Me.. Well thats not an option and i have a van for work so its not :mad:
Aon... hang on i will talk to the manager........yep you can have 2500 more for an extra £456.50
Me.... ok in that case i will cancell it and start again as it only cost me £589 so i can get another 5000 miles
AON...we will not insure you again before the end of the year
Me...mmmm i will get back to you:(

so what would you do if you were me???

Thats outrageous!  I\'d be inclined to phone around a few companies and see what prices you can get for a years policy - Footman James are meant to be good.

Have you forgotten that your car was in KM and so only done 3125 miles?
I would phone them up with your mistake! :Tongue1

I spoke to Aon this morning and they will only insure a second car upto 5000 miles a year , how s--t is that.    :flamed

[GaryS]

Is that on a classic car / limtied mileage policy ?  It should be remembered that second car policies (as opposed to main) do tend to be cheaper.

I know I ended up insuring both my MX5 and RX-7 as mains as I was not sure which the greater mileage would be done on.

[antnicuk]

check the policy wording as you may find that the only consequence of your mileage exceeding the limit is an increased policy excess should you have a claim.  It may be worth just carrying on and paying an increased excess should the worst happen.

The price i payed was great and have no problem with AON i was not aware of the over inflated price it would cost me to keep using the car till the renewal £589.50 + £456.50= £1046   which i am sure i can get a cheaper quote even if it was used as a daily driver

So the moral of this story is cheaper is not always best

Thanks Johnf i am looking into it:Thumbs-up :spank

My opposing neighbour reversed in to my MX-5 (which is also insured through AON) and her insurers started playing up - suggesting she was not covered.  AON sorted out all the hassle for me and helped me get my excess back.
