As its coming up to renewal time, can anybody help with a question regarding legal services, normally added to premiums.

I have in the past bought this as a separate item rather than the offer from the insurer, which can save about £ 25 from the renewal.
( Indeed HJ offers it through the site. )

I've never had to use it, but if I did would there be any difference in the service provided ? I'm a bit worried that a seperate company could be a profit hungry outfit, such as a claims management company that would put its interests first.
However would the service from the insurance provider be any different ?

Any views, perhaps from those who have recent experience ?

I don't think there would be any difference. I have heard that car insurers buy the policies "In Bulk" for a minimal sum and sell them on @ £25 a pop. Why worry if an organisation is profit hungry? They will provide you with a service in return for your premium and whatever they make won't come out of your pocket!
