Van insurance postcode checker

[KevofCov]

I’ve just moved. I’ve informed my van insurers and they want more money. Not just the £25 admin fee but an increase in premium. I’ve moved to a much nicer area. More rural and not on the edge of Birmingham like my previous address.

I’m being told its because the new postcode could have had more claims etc etc. Take it or leave it sir. Something smells. I could understand if I moved the other way - from the sticks to edge of Brum. I think I’m being conned.

Can my postcode be checked?

Unfortunately they make the rules, knowing we have to pay on this sort of thing.

Sons ex Bird moved in here for a year. She used to live in a town centre with on street parking only, Her insurance company emailed her because they noticed ( Black box) she wasn’t parking there anymore, and was parking at our place that is Rural and secure parking on our drive. They put the price up.
