not quite accurate I'm sure. My sister was a TA so I know exactly what commission they were getting as she'd take it off for me. But...I do pay about a 1/4 - 1/3 with my online insurance compared to the TA and have also had a large claim paid out by them so I'm getting what I'm paying for. Totally agree that you must have ins, amazes me that people still ask on here do I really need it but maybe I was like that in my youth.
Don't agree with the transfer, even for a 1st timer but hey, we're not all going to agree on everything right : )
