I was delighted with the call I got from a lovely lady. I didn't make it easy for her, 1st time I was driving, 2nd time left my phone upstairs. Eventually, she manage to catch me, and to my delight, I got a discount on my insurance. So simple, all it took was a phone call. Happy customer. Mary 12.05.2022
