dunno, since the car insurance market was deregulated in italy (or better: regulated for transparent competition, which is different in some ways) my premium went from 1200/yr to 250/yr and I'm not receiving a worse service for it.

it's all about in how the regulation is carried out. paperless data transfer between company, ban on exit and transfer fees, standardized risk assessment that's binding for all companies allowed a healthy competition.

id take a look at the small print if I where you based on what happens in the UK
of course, most insurers are basically running a scam operation. that was happening before irregardless of changes that were introduced to protect customers.
