Double what it was 2 years ago!

[croyde]

Sorry folks yet another Insurance whine.

Same car, same place, same job, no claims, convictions or accidents yet my insurance has gone up over 30%. With last years massive increase it is now double what it was 2 years ago.

Strangely my wages are about 25% lower than 2 years ago, same job, same place etc.

Whine over.

How much more are you paying for fuel?
I heard earlier 20p on petrol per litre in last six months

bad news. I dread to think what my insurance renewal is going to be for the GTV in a couple of months. Best buy some lube and make sure there's ample funds in the pot.

I've just checked and we have 300 times the amount of insurance threads that we had 2 years ago

30% up this year compared to last but due to last year's massive increase now 100% more than 2 years ago.

Hence double what it was 2 years ago.

What is annoying is my insurance compared to my girlfriends. I have been driving for 6 years. 4 NCD. My insurance £800. For the same car OH year younger, held license for a year, already had a 100% fault claim £900..........

[saleen836]

just like to say that myself and Mrs Saleen have just saved £400 between us on our vehicles by taking out a family policy, only downside is that swmbo is now fully comp to drive the Saleen!

[Oilchange]

I'm in a similar situation with my Esprit only the drivers seat is bolted in and I have far longer legs...

My dads insurance renewal came through recently, they wanted £910 to insure his car.

Bearing he is 73, clean licence, no bumps etc etc, guess what car the £910 was to cover ?




A 1996 astra automatic estate, that's worth £500 tops (if that)

That's over 3 times what he paid last year, 5 mins on the web had him a new quote of £250 for better cover.

I think insurers just try it on each renewal time.

[A.J.M]

My insurance went down by £100 this year.

• smug bd*

Does such for you though, mine climbed for the 2 years previous. Not by 100% but any rise sucks arse.

Just waiting for the first shill from the insurance co.s to post about how the entire industry is losing money on car insurance etc. etc.

I got Elephant down from 1250 to 780 with a 5 minute phone call and 5 minutes on confused.com

[croyde]

Quick play with Compare gets me back to what I paid last year if I go with Admiral. Shame as my current broker has done me proud over the years but suddenly seems unable to get me a decent quote.

Has been nice to deal with a company that picks up the phone within seconds and is an actual office, not a call centre, but I need to save some cash.
