I received my insurance renewal quote from the AA; Comprehensive, £150 compulsory excess, £50 voluntary, full legal protection, etc, etc,, all singing and dancing defaqto 5 star policy that I normal have, gone up to £647 from £535!!

So, once more I go into "negotiation" mode.  Speak to AA and after putting on the pressure of "going elsewhere" got down to £450.  Still not low enough for my liking, so stage two of negotiations then brought in price comparison quotes, with the best from Saga, with all the same benefits as with the AA / Ageas, at £380.  Phoned AA this morning and stated I wanted to move on with Saga, After being told they did not want to lose such a long term member of the AA they got it down to £379! Just over £1 per day over the year

Happy with that and sticking with an insurer who I know will look after me if the worst happens, and accept that my Omega cannot be easily replaced as back in 2017!!  But why do we have to go through this continual fight to get a reasonably priced policy for our Omega's?

Are you 18 years old, Lizzie?

I paid £239 to insure 5 litres of creamy supercharged goodness. They also gave me a £20 petrol voucher for Texaco.......so £219 really.

In your neck of the woods it must be a shock to see another car, let alone have an accident with it, M'lud. I did see you do seem to have a reckless young driver problem in your part of the world, where a young man of 97 had an accident in your vicinity last week that made the papers.

[Doctor Gollum]

I live in Essex which I doubt is classed as a low risk area. I remember two or three years ago my insurance was with Ageas, via some broker or other. I still paid under half what LZ pays. 

I'll wager that you don't have a £5k fault claim

I expect they are related.

There is that I suppose.

To add though, would any of us, who is sane, cover comprehensively a 3.2 litre car driver, living in the South East for just over £1 per week as I am?

£52? Now that is cheap!

I really do doubt the quality of any motor insurance covering in such a way for about 75p per week as quoted by TB, or worse still, about 40p per week as quoted by Migv6. That 'quality' will become apparent when a claim is made and you want your Omega fully repaired.

You're only paying £52 a year. Wow. That is cheap.  Mind you, I know I'm paying more than 75p a week.  Nearer 75p a day.

[TheBoy]

And I have made a claim with my insurer.  Other than the usual attempt to wiggle out at the first contact - sorry, double checking facts - I cant fault them.

Obviously, though, the car wasn't repaired as it was Cat B

You want to try living in Liverpool. My bro has got a beat up Rover 75 and can't get his under £700.

My 21 year old daughter lives in Toxteth with her musician boyfriend named on the policy of a Mini Cooper.  She paid £325.







and I paid £325 too........

Mind you the first quote on a comparison site was £3200
