Thread: Insurance is on the up !

Just got my re-newal through £100 more than last year with no claims made. Personally think its a joke, i understand the industry was hit over xmas due to the bad weather but those you havent claimed shouldnt be penalised, solely my insurance comapanies have made 100% profit on me over a number of years anyway thats my thoughts on the subject.

If anyone can recommend good insurers please let me know i searched the obvious gocompare, comparethemarket, tescocompare, quoteline, LV, AF not much joy.

admiral, direct line?

they were both included in the comparison sites bell are looking favourite

Swiftcover.

Aviva is the best for me, £400 cheaper than the next best.

just got quoted £9222.19 to insure the car by right choice, fortunately they offer 8 x £970.85 installments with a Deposit £2305.55

Audi insurance Full Payment Insurance policy price £89303.20 or £13399.53 deposit followed by 11 monthly payments by direct debit of £8041.75

You gotta laugh !

tried them no remaps allowed

For remapped cars, it has to been Greenlight and AdrianFlux, also give SkyInsurance a call, they seem pretty good.

You know how much my dad got quoted for on my fiesta once.. £9450.66!!!! And that was from the AA. For fun, i rang the company up and pretended that it was the cheapest quote, the guy was soo baffled and after i said that, "oh this was the cheapest quote i could find so i have to go with it" he said, "it isnt the cheapest of insurance but you do get some good benefits!"... i replied, "good benefits.. mate, i bought this car for £900, im 53 years old with 30yrs+ ncb (acted as my dad) and your asking me to pay 10 and a half times the value of my car? Will i write it off 10 and a half times?" Then he said.. "well im pleased we can lower this price" I said, "oh great to what??.. he replied. "To, £9266.22 or £9120.£27 if you take out our breakdown cover." I said, "FANTASTIC.. Im getting my debit card right now.. let me just put you on hold.." CLICK.. i put the phone down. Im with swiftcover now and paying 800ish i think!

It's all down to personal situations, who wants you this Year etc etc but Greenlight were £200 cheaper than all the others for me & the S3 this time. £400 cheaper than the Sky Insurance quote anyway...

OP - you were lucky your renewal only went up £100 this Year - Direct Line wanted an extra £450 off me with no claims, convictions or changes in the Year! Worth a try...
