Cheaper insrance needed!

Just had the reminder hit the doormat...........................

£844, which is a whopping 38% increase on last years £610. No convictions, no claims, what the f*ck is happening.

I can just see it on my customers faces, sorry sir my prices are going up 38%, I'm sure you'll still continue to do business with me, because all my competitors have done the same?

Help , PLEEEEEEEEEEEEESE

I have just got my renewal through, £352.50.

Just gave their on-line site a go.................£1,396

I'm 49, 5 years NCD, no convictions, 1 no fault collision (f*cking Polish lorry driver), 1 windscreen claim.

My biggest problem is I live in a city. It's not Cardiff, but apparently this is the worst area (apart from London maybe)?

£1490 ,102 lwb +trany connect !!! on one policy     evan

Try A Plan Swindon
Many reasons
Some insurers say its because policies were fille din online and never covered true risks in first place.
Price comparison sites in other words
It might be trying to make back profit as many insurers had major stakes in BP
Might also, hopefully be that they have simply changed what types of risks their portfolio prefers
In other words they are trying to get you to switch

Thanks for the heads-up, but they want £935. They did advise that rates have inceased by an average of 37% though

TwoFish wrote: The AA reports premiums up 40% and that despite that, insurers are making losses.   Interesting article.   Unsurprisingly, fraudulent claims and the 'whiplash brigade' are reported to be the reason.   Despite my love of the internet and cutting out the middle man, when I was in the UK, I actually found that going through a broker got me a much better deal than getting on-line quotes.   Oh - I used Commercial Vehicle Direct.

That article is a bit spooky as I've just paid my house insurance a couple of weeks ago and that had increased by 14%, (note my van policy is up by 38%).

The thing that really pisses me off, is that individual insurance companies do not appear to give a damn if you are at fault or not when you have a bump. This is borne-out by their attitude when you are involved in a no-fault crash. They really do not seem to care about getting their costs back from the other party if it is not a simple "cut and dry" case! You really have to fight your corner.

Then there are the ambulance chasers. Real low-life. The bloke that called me after Mr Lorry Driver tried to remove my passenger door with his Volvo 38 tonner front wheel, couldn't believe it when I said I wasn't going to press for "personal injury" damages.
