Pet Insurance is outrageous in the UK! A thread.
Just had a renewal quote from @DirectLine - monthly premium up from £56 to £120. £120! Per month! For 1 dog! Same happened 2 yrs ago with @MORETHAN.
Expensive & it devalues insurance you're paying for... @BBCWatchdog@WhichUK
I'm paying extra so that a single condition can be covered beyond 1 calendar year. But by making insurance UNAFFORDABLE after 1 year, insurance companies are making sure that you cancel & switch, effectively making this specific condition of the insurance unusable! @MartinSLewis
