Hello, Motor insurance department
C

Oh hello. I'd like to ask about insurance for my car.
A
Agent
Yes, of course. I'll just take a few details. What's your name?
C
Customer
Patrick Jones.
A
Agent
And your address?
C
Customer
It's 27 Bank Road.
A
Agent
27 Bank Road. Is that in Greendale?
C
Customer
Yes.
A
Agent
And what's your daytime phone number?
C
Customer
My work number is 730453.
A
Agent
And could I ask what your occupation is?
C
Customer
Dentist.
A
Agent
Okay. Now, a few details about your car. What size is the engine?
C
Customer
It's 1200cc.
A
Agent
Thank you. And the makin' model?
C
Customer
It's a Huton Sable.
A
Agent
Could you spell the model name, please?
C
Customer
Yes. S-A-B-L-E.
A
Agent
Oh, yes. Thanks. And when was it made?
C
Customer
1997.
A
Agent
Lovely. Right. I presume you've had a previous insurer.
C
Customer
Yes.
A
Agent
Right. We need to know the name of the company.
C
Customer
Yes. It was a Northern Star.
A
Agent
Thank you. And have you made any insurance claims in the last five years?
C
Customer
Yes. One in 1999.
A
Agent
And what was the problem?
C
Customer
It was stolen. But...
A
Agent
That's fine, Mr Jones. That's all we need to know at the moment.
A
Agent
And will there be any other named drivers?
C
Customer
Just the one.
A
Agent
And his name?
C
Customer
Simon Paynter.
A
Agent
Could you spell the surname, please?
C
Customer
P-A-Y-N-T-E-R.
A
Agent
Okay. Thank you. And what relationship is he to you?
C
Customer
He's my brother-in-law.
A
Agent
And what will you or Mr Painter be using the car for?
C
Customer
Well, mainly for social use.
A
Agent
Social use. Will you be using it to travel to work?
C
Customer
Yes, sometimes.
A
Agent
Travel to work. Anything else?
C
Customer
No. That's it.
A
Agent
And finally, when would you like to start the insurance?
C
Customer
I'll need it from the 31st of January.
A
Agent
Right. Mr Jones, I'm getting a couple of quotes coming up on the computer now. And the best bid looks like being with a company called Red Flag.
C
Customer
Yeah?
A
Agent
And that comes out at $450 per year.
C
Customer
Cool. Well, that seems okay. It's quite a bit lower than I've been paying up to now.
A
Agent
Great. So, would you like me to go ahead with that?
C
Customer
Sure. Why not?
A
Agent
How would you like to pay?
