I am with Allianz and in my 70's. They took over my previous insurer - Flow. I renewed last year with no issues and due to renew again next month. They are on line only but I manage very well to do things like this on line. If you have any difficulties it is worth asking a friend or relative to help.

 

@Frank thanks for your response. I had been intending to put my private number plate K155CBG which i have for about 20 years on to my Tcross but haven't got round to it yet. Do you think this would be easy to do online with Allianz?

 

Yes it is easy. I put my own number on last year. You will just need to log in to your account and edit the car details with the new number. Allianz do advice and video which may help you.

@Frank Thank you for your excellent and very helpful response. I will contact Allianz and find out how to log into my account regards Chas

 

Just came across this post – I’m in a similar situation now with my VW insurance being moved to Allianz and I'm wondering the same things. Would love to hear any updates or experiences others have had since this was first posted, especially regarding how easy (or not) the online-only system is to deal with. Thanks in advance

 

I'm not with Allianz but NFU Mutual Insurance (not just for farmers). They send paper. Not the cheapest but win Which awards for claims service. Lovely people in their call centre which is in Scotland not India. Last I heard they made no admin charge for mid term adjustments and a two year replacement period from date of first registration if your one or two year old car is written off.

 

@Frank one last question did your renewal notice come by post, email or message? Thanks Chas

 

Everything is on line so your renewal offer will come by email. You may want to check your account and opt out of auto renewal otherwise your policy will renew when you may not want that to happen.

 

I logged on as an existing customer but no policy found

 

Probably need to check the letter from VW for details of how to access your policy following it's transfer to Allianz

 

Thanks. My renewal is 25/9/25 so I will wait until nearer the date.

 

Good idea. You will usually receive a renewal notice / price 30 days before expiry of your policy

 

Thanks. I will wait for the renewal notice and take it from there.

 

Have you received your renewal notice? My insurance renewal email arrived today. Renewal is due 26.09.25 and the price is 21p lower than last year so I will probably go with them again once I have done comparison sites later this week.

 

Insurance has dropped this year by quite a bit.

 

Dear All, I got my insurance renewal for my 74 plate 1.5 R-Line yesterday from Allianz and was shocked to say the least. In 50 years on the road.

I have never known the annual premium to go down but pleasantly surprised as I was expecting it to be north of £1000.

 

I am pleased that you got your renewal notice and that you are happy with the price. Mine is £406 and it was cheaper by £108 than on 3 comparison websites for the same Allianz top cover and so I am happy to renew on 27th Sept.

 

@Frank I renewed my insurance by phone today. I also asked about changing to my private registration plate at some time and she said I could go on line or simply phone them which suits me better.

 

That's good news .
You have done well to actually speak to someone at Allianz and for them to agree to take your reg no change over the phone.
