Ive sold my car !! im carless !! OMG!
my CC is in the country though, but the
salesman i just spoke to was less than helpful really.

Okay! so AXA won't suspend my insurance, they will only put a note on my account saying i dont need insurance for 2 weeks.

So ive lost two weeks of insurance.

Just to add to insult, i asked for a quote again on my insurance for the remaining two months !! last week it was 38 pounds, this week 58 !!!!! [insert bad language here]

most companies claim that they will honour quotes for 30 days (some mor ethan that).

If you asked for the price for the last few months of your policy with a CC instead, then surely this is a quote.

Tell to bog off and make em give it you at the rate they quoted 2 weeks ago.

Use their own bullshit to trap em

Fraid not, before giving the quote they made it quite clear it was only valid today.

What a dodgey lot - giving you a quote only valid for one day!!!

well if your policy only has a few months to live then ask to speak to a manager.

Explain that you will take you business elsewhere if they want to treat customers in such a way.

Usually works for me.....

I've been lucky then as I sold my car ready for my CC and then was told I would not be getting my CC until September. I'm with Elephant.co.uk and they were more than happy to suspend my insurance and give me a refund once I start the insurance again for the CC.

i can't honestly fault Axa. when i got my CC i cancelled my Egg policy as they were extortinate (and took 2 months to issue a refund - not recommended to use them). Axa gave the best quote, allowed me to register four different courtesy cars, one of them for over 4 weeks and then transferred the policy to the replacement CC FOC. they did get a bit funny just at the end when they wouldn't let me extend the cover on the 307 courtesy car for another few days as it had already been covered for 4 weeks - but a good shout at them about how they should treat their customers did the trick
