Car insurance

[DeskJockey]

That's a reasonable result.

Obviously with changing the car came the need to change the insurance. I pay mine monthly. Twingo was £40 per month. For the focus they want….



£16. Couldn’t believe it, was definitely expecting to be raped and pillaged for changing vehicle mid policy, but apparently not

[DeskJockey]

I've found that mid policy changes aren't that bad. Be interesting to see how much they want for a full year's policy come renewal time.

I imagine a metric fucktonne. I’ll let you know in July

My Audi renewal invitation came through today. With AXA, they told me my last year's premium was £896 (I didn't realise it was that much to be honest - it was a change after a month or so when I got my new car) and the renewal was £1619. The meerkat got it down to £938 and since I've renewed at my new address I haven't had to do a change of address during the policy which is useful. I think our current address is about as low risk as anywhere, while the new place isn't exactly high risk but is slightly higher. Maybe due to people driving into floods in Worcestershire - it's not that far from here:

It's my turn for the annual bullpoop merry-go-round...renewal quote was +30%, one 'phone call to them got that down to +15%

Same price as last year on the ML

Dave!

Nicely done

I've got a quote that's ~£160 less I've had so far (subject to double checking it is exactly like-for-like), but from a company I haven't heard of. Looking at ins. co. reviews, my current lot - LV - come out well, so currently trying to value the potential lack of hassle against the likelihood of claiming in the first place.

Paid £430 last year for the Previa.
Renewal for CRV £950 (One claim, me added as a named driver).
Comparison site with matching details, £710.
Putting myself as main driver (as Jen is going to do a degree) £470.

^ but good you got the price

I thought I'd got a good quote until I read things through fully - no foreign cover. Ffs
It looks like I'll end up renewing with the company I'm with at 15% over last year, dangerously close to the amount Rich is paying for his M2

I still don't quite believe that quote... I'm kind of dreading next year in case it was a massive computer error in my favour!
