dialdirect hikes 2017 insurance premiums for motor vehicle by 21.46 %

<p>dialdirect have increased their insurance premiums for 2017 by 21.46%. This is the second time in three years that they have pulled this stunt. I contacted them and tried to negotiate, however, I was informed that was the increase for 2017. I have never in the + - 6 years that I have been insured with them claimed ONE CENT on my policy. I called their cancellation dept. after I obtained a new policy with a more reputable company to cancel my policy in early Febraury 2017. They then tried to negotiate with me because by their own admission I was a "good customer".</p> <p>I have some questions for dialdirect :</p> <p>1. how can you justify such increases ? this is the second time in three years that you have tried to hike your premiums by over 21 %.....who are you trying to fool and on what planet to do you people live ?</p> <p>2. why try and negotiate with your customers when they have obtained other insurance at a far more compeditive rate ?</p> <p>3. your behaviour smacks of unprofessionalism and greed.....I will never insure any of my property with you again, and I would urge everyone in my circle of friends and family to do the same. </p>
