That's excellent, a thoroughly good idea.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
New job requires me to have business insurance on the car, so I called up LV to make the necessary changes. Policy runs until end of Feb, so I was a bit surprised when I was quoted £2.15 - that seems very reasonable.
Happy to take it though.

X5 and 325ti due next month.
After some minor negotiation the X5 is £62 less (£420) and the £325ti £70 more (£500, includes my sister in law on a provisional).
I consider that a result!

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Mrs A Mini renewal came through today £188 fully comp. Up £24 from last year. Robbing bastards.
Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
I just noticed, they’re claiming a big part of the increase is because repairs are taking so much longer and hire cars are having to be loaned out longer - but when I looked last week they all want about £10-20 per year more for a courtesy car. Which is about what they’ve always wanted for one!
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
To be fair, the average claim cost has increased massively.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Renewal time here too - multi-car policy for everything but the Galaxie - £1,735
It's a bit of an erk to stump up in one go, but it seems pretty reasonable when it covers six cars including two Porsches, a Bentley, and an Aston.
And I took the opportunity to get a quote on a 360 - £379 but will need a tracker and I know absolutely nothing about the costs of those.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
What sort of tracker are they asking for?
They can be quite expensive if you have to get it fitted by an approved installer, but they're simple to fit if theyre ok with you doing it yourself.
I'd imagine if it's a stipulation of the insurance that a lot of them will already be fitted with them?

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Our motorhome had to have one but the insurer supplied it at no cost.
It's the size of a matchbox. I was asked to fit/hide it and then they did a test to make sure they could locate it whilst stored, simple.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Fair point that this kind of car may well have one already. I didn't go into detail with them but I'd assume it needs to be professionally fitted ? Otherwise there's little guarantee it'll work, or even get fitted in the first place if they let punters to do it themselves.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Got my renewal through for the Merc with LV. Last year was £400 ish. Initial pitch on the paperwork is £550, which is crazy for full NCB, 45 year old me. Gonna have to shop around a lot.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
This seems to go against the grain but last year for a new i3s i thought was a bargain at £360 and i was later able to add my 17yr old daughter for occasional use but still fully comp for £60.
Renewal has come through at £161!

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette
Zenith decided they wanted to charge an extra £200 a year to insure the x5 despite now having a years ncb on it.
Compared my meerkats and halved their renewal quote. Knobheads.
