cheshire911 said:If the reviews with AIB underwriter are awful, steer clear. It is the underwriter you deal with in the event of a claim, AIB is an intermediary passing on information. All the decisions on the claim rests with the underwriter. LV underwrite their products, which is possibly why they may be dearer. The Insurance market is blurred by those who underwrite the policy and those who are intermediaries simply introducing you to a panel of underwriters and selecting the cheapest quote to you. In the event of a claim, the intermediary has no decision-making authority whatsoever.
Thanks for reaffirming my concerns :thumb:
AIB have been very friendly but I think I'll go with Churchill who came in by far the cheapest for equivalent cover and they are 5* Defacto rated
Unfortunately LV were expensive this year
