So got the renewal through for the Cerbera this week. Same policy, same terms, same everything. £60 cheaper!
I'm guessing 45 is the tipping point for policies these days - didn't it used to be 25???

Usually hate opening the post but this was quite pleasant, actually looking forward to Chimaera renewal - Flux and I have an understanding that the Chimaera won't be dearer than the Cerbera biggrin

I am thinking premiums have generally reduced. I have just beaten my renewal quote from the incumbant by £200 on my Tam. Worth a ring round.

That's a result indeed.

I did the ring round of the usual specialists and Confused.com but none could come near Adrian Flux so pretty pleased with that.

£450 at 22 isn't bad for me biggrin


I'm at the mercy of admirals pricing though, all other companies want 3k+ or won't even touch me.

Thats an amazing quote at 22 years old , i bet you thought it was a incorrect quote at that price and had to ask again, nice one.

Maybe this is the happy effect of insurers having to remove the male/female differential? I believe it's true that women have more claims per mile driven (though men do more miles), so charging them more as a whole has helped balance sheets.

Funny old thing insurance, sure I read on another Forum just a few days ago that some one found AF far more expensive than all othere he'd contacted.

Blimey, I was paying £1000 on a modified 450 at the same age (unlimited miles, only car)

Living in scotland helps dramaticly.

When I was looking at univerities in london, they wanted £1500!



Been with admiral for 5 years now and when I phone them up for renewal, they always give me a good discount for loyalty or do a bit extra to help when there is a problem. They've made alot of money from me!

Mine went from £750 last year to £500 this year. NCB went from 9 to 10 years so it isn't that. I was thinking time of ownership of the car??
