Does anyone know if there might be any particular reason/trend in insurance for my insurance company to more than double my renewal quote? I've 10 years no claims, 1 expired sp30 conviction and I just can't see why it should have suddenly leapt to over £1k in the last 12 months???

Hey fanatic, yeah i just don't get it, mine's usually £375ish (fully comp, protected no claims, P38 DT) suddenly with no reason given it's jumped to just over £1000! whilst quotes from other campanies are still in the £350-400 region.

sounds like you have fallen out of their preferred postcode and demographic, If you get really stuck I reckon less than £700 and anything you like except cosworths and grey imports

Have you called the renewal company yet?

I have that every where with my bikes insurance, they send the renewal and its always more, i just call them and ask are you having a fokin laugh?

they drop it down every year...

some insurance companies do that in the of chance people wont go shopping somewhere else and just accept the new renewal price and thats it.

Haven't on this occasion yet, but tried that last time and they wouldn't revise the quote, BUT I could sign up as a new customer and get the same price as previous year...go figure??

Insurance companies are all the same... great prices for the first year or two and then they push up your premium, hoping that it will simply be debited out of your account without you noticing.

Go to a different insurance company, get a quote and then ask your insurer to better it. They might say no bu hey... I pay £375 fully comp with 9 years no claims and driving of other vehicles included.

 

thought it was mine!

Have you tried Frank Pickles? Just went with them because they gave me easily the best quote and did not worry about mods.

I found Adrian Flux gave me the best quote.

I tried Direct Line on Line and got a comedy quote of £600 Fully Comp, it went up to £675 for 3rd PF&T. When I stopped Laughing (My V8 was half that last year) I called Arian Flux and they quoted £280 straight off.

Good luck with it.

I've been with Bell Direct for the past 10 years or so. They're always the cheapest for me.

They do try it on a bit at renewal time (but only a little bit) but they always agree to drop it again. Can't fault em.

I think I'm paying £300 fully comp for my 98 4.6 HSE.
