[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 595863, member: 66676"] And ever wondered why they don't like to be compared? Every time I've gone to them for a quote I'd be around £300 worse off! One thing to note [USER=89855]@jessica16[/USER] is that it is illegal for insurance companies to add an addtional / special premium or refuse you cover as a result of your diabetes - providing, of course, that the DVLA are aware and your medical practitioners have cleared you for driving. To be sure you aren't being penalised, first fill in the online forms without declaring the diabetes and 3-year licence run the search and save/print the results. Then edit your search correcting the relevant info and see what happens. If the best quotes are changed, contact the company and request the cover at the non-diabetes price - if they refuse, speak to a manager/senior manager and ask to know why it is that they are presuming you to be a less safe driver with diabetes (when all the current DVLA / UK insurance broker evidence points to the complete opposite). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
