Why don't insurance companies like you changing cars? When I phoned up to change my policy to the derv 306 they basicly told me if I change cars again I'll be fee'd or else they will just cancel my insurance without warning. I had to bite my tongue. I felt like telling them to fuck off I'll get my insurance else where.
So now I'm worried if I change cars again my insurance will be cancelled.
What's there problem? Is it so hard for them to press a few keys on the computer?

What sort of solution is that?
It's hard enough lining up the sale of an old car with the purchase of a new car - nevermind trying to time it all with the renewal date of your car insurance
The Car Insurance industry needs regulating better, I'm pretty sure they just hire people to make up numbers.

One of the simplest solutions ironically.
Here's a novel idea - When the term ends, keep the same car and then insure it again!
Trend setting right here...

Wow, why didn't I think about that before.
I'll just keep the same car forever to avoid an administration fee.

I'm with Bell too, the last time I done it they didn't seem too bothered but not this time. If I want to keep changing cars I need a traders policy according to bell yet when I asked for a traders policy they wouldn't cover me 
They haven't charged me admin fees right enough.

Why should I be restricted to keep a car? If I want to change car then why should I not be able too?

You should be able to, I agree.
But, if you have changed the car a numerous amount of times within the 1yr period, then I can see where the Insurance company is coming from. Especially with the comment about getting Trade insurance.

Just kick off at the insurer, that normally gets the fee paid for.
