Has Everyone’s Car Insurance Gone Up A Lot?

[bluefortress]

How much do you pay for your car insurance?

Mine has gone up from £42 per month to  £74 per month

Mine with LV has doubled and we have not had any claims.

A number of ABers have been reporting a doubling of their car insurance premiums recently (with no changes that would otherwise affect the price) – the good news is that this doubling of costs is having no effect of the annual rate of inflation.

Mine went up from £211 to £230 a year...

[Maydup]

The sweet spot for best price on car insurance is 26 days before the renewal is due and do shop around.

Mine stayed roughly the same around £280 pa. Fully comp and courtesy car, no recovery I buy that separately. The renewal quote was for more but I switched.

Mine went up a lot last year, it's due for renewal in six weeks 

[jourdain2]

Mine nly went up £3 last year - but OH's doubled (no claims by either of us).  I'm dreading mine becoming due soon - and I can't even drive at the mo.!

[bookbinder]

Mine has gone up from £612.61 last year to £987.80 for the coming year. I haven't had any claims in the meantime.

Just had my renewal quote from the RAC. Gone from £338 to £501. No claims/no changes.

(comparison sites all starting around the £500 mark)

[barry1010]

I've just searched for quotes on a comparison in readiness for my renewal - hallelujah!  it is cheaper.  

There's a surprise

[youngmafbog]

Got to pay for the leccy cars that get damaged.  Not cheap unfortunately.

It's the cost of Net Zero, but they wont tell you that.

went with these very reasonable

[barry1010]

'They' have told us exactly that, young - I've read several reports in the newspapers that blame the cost of repairing electric cars, together with the shortage of spares.

[Canary42]

Mines gone down - to £0.

Well, you did ask 😀

That's because I'm now banned from driving (medical reason). You should count your blessings - it's murder in this country without a car.

I've just switched from RAC to Aviva Zero - only a bit cheaper £478 as against £501 but I did it through "Top Cashback" so might get a bit back (first time I've used a cashback site so🤞)
