I had a similar thing happen when I bought my 4 series in 2021. Got a decent quote, bought the car a few days later, went back to accept the quote and it jumped up a few hundred quid!Carlos wrote: Thu Feb 06, 2025 6:46 pmThe quote was saved when I checked a couple of days later but was greyed out when she bought the car 10 days later!Mito Man wrote: Fri Jan 24, 2025 9:54 pm Surely the quote is saved? I've not had a saved quote increase in price.
It does seem tricky if you buy a new car and need a new policy!

Last years premium with Aviva £388.35
Renewal with Aviva £562.97
An increase of £174.62
Found for £447.93 with 1st central, a saving of £115.04 over auto renewal, but still an increase of £59.58 over last years policy

1st Central are on a roll at the mo - I insured my Jag with them for £100 less than everyone else. This happened a few years back with my M135i too, all of a sudden they were loads cheaper.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

esure wanted to go from £458.76 to £639.84. I've talked to the over the last couple of years and they've come down to the same as the quotes I've been having elsewhere. This time they dropped to £590, then to £560. with a total of £750 excess
Nutshell have quoted £360 with £500 excess and using go compare I've got £250 excess cover. Unsurprisingly, I've gone for them.

I was chatting to my neighbour. 34, male, zero no claims, 2 years driving and his first car is a 18 year old diesel C class.
He's paying £360 as well only his is per month.

We might have to move this to the General section.
Home and car insurance are due in the next few weeks (annoying timing, but such it is). The home policy is going up by £3, and car insurance for both cars, with no changes to anything, is dropping £160.41.
That feels like a win to me.

Hmmm, I've just gone through the usual game with the insurance for our motorhome.DeskJockey wrote: Mon Jan 19, 2026 4:07 pm We might have to move this to the General section.![]()

The renewal was £70 more than last year which bearing in mind I'm an old fart, haven't claimed and the motorhome is now worth less than last year so it annoys me that they try it on. So I did the usual and ignore all the renewal emails/letters and they phone me just before it is due. After a bit of backwards and forwards they agree to cover for last years premium
