Hi All
I'm on the look out for reliable insurance again.
I just wondered if anyone can share their experience of claiming with Agria or what the year-on-year premium increases are like?
In the distant past Agria quotes always seemed to be higher than others so never ventured there but they are looking competitive at the moment.
I made the HUGE mistake of insuring Ruben with NCI two years ago and it's been a stressful journey. I wish I'd recorded the conversation but I was told by them that they didn't increase the premium throughout the life of the pet:? That seemed a bit too good to be true. I have insured quite a few rabbits since with Helpucover and been very happy with them (but Ruben is now nearly 5 so too old to swap to Helpucover as they don't start policies for over 4 year olds).
NCI didn't pay out on Ruben's dental despite their terms and conditions being (as far as I can see) identical on that aspect to Petplan who have consistently paid out for dentals. I chose them with their higher premium over Helpucover for the dental cover! Well, Ruben's renewal, despite them not paying out has gone from £127 the first year to £142 last year to this year ... £213. I was already prepared for ditching them this year but that is outrageous. Premium for Agria (not like-for-like, just vet fees, which is all i have ever used) is £112.
So, I will be moving to Agria as it is either that or no insurance in his individual case as I have nothing to lose. I'm also toying with the idea of swapping some of the others to Agria if I can get enough good vibes about them.
Many thanks in anticipation.
