    Really? It is the last thing I want. I just want to use an online tool, get the cheapest quote and buy the insurance and get it over with. I don't want to chat with anyone.

    While I'd be the same, to be fair that's because you, I (and probably most here) are IT literate and comfortable doing things like shopping online.

    Now count how many people aren't - particularly the older generation

    Plus how many times have you gotten a quote and managed to haggle it down - try THAT with an online form (can't see them adding a "haggle" button :p)

    Always cheaper by phone.

    Online is just a guide price;)

    Have to say I think IDA do a decent job given the circumstances of the past few years.

    Ah my dad is 60 and can do it. Age isn't an excuse, it is just hidden behind as one TBH.

    I'd love a haggle button :D

    Says a lot about the insurance industry that whole crooked system they got going there. No people involved in your insurance purchase so you pay more than the person who rang up...
