Just received my first renewal. Has increased by just over £110. The "excuse" for such a big increase is down to the discount received when taking out the policy. This is a con and very misleading, as any money saved on the discount is totally lost in the increase the following year, making the discount utterly pointless.
This is not acceptable. Considering how snide car insurance companies are, even they don't increase renewals by that amount! Plus, their premiums are no where near as high as Petplan's, but would pay much higher values in a claim.
Also, there is no 'no claims bonus', so the premium will just increase every year. It's throwing money away.
