I've just received my renewal quote fron Direct Line and it's gone up by £150 to £595 so I checked DL on line as it's normally cheaper - £957!!!!
Other than that AXA was the cheapest at £523. I've not made any claims at all.
Any bright ideas please?
PS: My car's in a fairly high insurance group (23). I've got fully comprehensive cover, including business use. Excluding the RAC cover (which is included with my policy), key cover (ditto) and credit charge for paying monthly, my annual premium is £430.44 (including a £40 intermediary services fee).
I think I'm quite lucky with my fully comp including legal expenses (it was very useful when I was involved in a fatal smash which took just six years to settle) at just under £200
Wondering if there's a difference depending on where you live. Just checked my own cover and it cost me £189 for this year. No doubt it will go up in August at renewal. I'm with the AA.
I've used NFU who have been very competitive - I am dreading this year as their comm property insurance has shot up and only countered by lowering the re-build costs that were, in retrospect, over-flated. All I can suggest is increase the excessive and see how much the premium comes down by.
Maggie it does matter where you live. If anyone lives in a rough area where your car is likely to be stolen or damaged then of course the cost does goes up.
