Disgusted - Insurance increase to £78

[smele]

Appalled, shocked and gob smacked; insurance premium has increased this year from £63 to £78 (Fully Comp).

£78 - 1973 Mini Mayfair, with rust, flintstone floor pans and optional extra moss interior.

Anyone have a lower premium?

i really feel for you for almost half the cost of a tv licence you can drive a car about for a year, insured for any eventuality

you could just not pay? but it would be one of those 'doh' moments when you had to fund court/hospital/compensation costs down the road

complain when you confuse the year of car manufacture with the premium

[DrTre]

What's the reason for the increase? Has the moss become more luxuriant in the course of the year?

[aka_kerrly]

christ, think how many PH members pay more than that a month!!

Count yourself lucky, OP. Some increases are much steeper than that.

Let alone insurance premiums...sad face

I think I just heard a faint popping noise. I think it was coming from Dave_ST220's direction...

O yea, he just imploded.

[RobCrezz]

Yeah, I pay that every month!

[Robb F]

£1500 for a 1.6 anyone?

19.2 X what you pay :P

being young sucks sometimes.

That is still a 20% hike.

Add 20% onto your premium and decide if you'd be happy about paying that!!

And I thought my wife had it cheap with £210 for her 1997 1.4 Corsa!

[cheadle hulme]

Mine is about £400 for group 18. I'd quite happily pay £3k if it meant I could be 21 again.;)

Closer to a 25% increase, i'd say. And you're right.

Yes, I think it is looking more lush and moist than ever before.

[Bungleaio]

Maybe he claimed for snail damage to the moss interior in the past year....or mole vandalism...

[theironduke]

I pay a smidge over £200 fully comp for my group 20 beastie.

They probably view the moss as a modification...

The premium on my old Rover 600 shed was £27 (on a fleet policy though)
