emailed Quinn Direct to ask how a GPS tracker would affect my premium. I already have a Clifford which they wont recognize as being "an above average alarm system".

Firstly, they dont recognize the CAT 1 Thatcham approved Cliffords so no lower quote there.

Secondly, I asked if I had the car was fitted with a GPS tracker would it lower my premium...answer....NO.

How, can this be? Surely if you spend nearly 1000EURO on an alarm and a further 1000EURO on a Tracking device this should help lower your premium.
How the insurance companies here can get away with what ever they want really gets my blood boiling.

In the UK you can call up an insurance company and actually speak to someone who knows about cars! Some UK insurance companies recognize the Cliffords and Tracking devices and can tailor a quote to suit your car. Over here you call some insurance crowd and you get asked questions like, "has that got one of those turbo whistly things on it?" or "how many doors has the car got".

RANT OVER (I feel better now)

Andy the differnce is when you ring someone in the UK
