I took delivery of my EQA 350 4matic AMG Line 3 weeks ago, having chopped in my A250e, which had been insured with Direct Line, who charged me an extra £10 to change to the EQA until expiry next month. I received a letter from Direct Line this morning saying that they're not going to offer renewal, despite the fact we have 20+ years' NCB (although they only register their maximum which is 9+ years) and have another car plus our house insurance with them!
I called the number on the letter to be told that their underwriters "do not have an appetite" for this model of car although they are happy to continue insuring our Skoda Kodiaq L&K 4x4 which is bigger and faster!
Has anyone else come across this ridiculous situation? I obtained a quote this afternoon from Admiral (for both cars plus the house / contents) and the EQA was only 73% of the premium for the Skoda. Has anyone else come across this ridiculous situation?
