No but our shiny new progressive Labour Govt will bring it in, and by the time I get to a certain age they'll be offering euthanasia as a cure for the common cold or anything that makes you a mild inconvenience.

In the film Logan's run the cut of point for 'termination' was 30 years. Although you did get the chance to bone Jenny Agutter first if luck was on your side.

Just had to renew Household insurance..

Tesco wanted £350 to renew up by 50% ,, so with a bit of confusion.com, it cost £160,, and a free £20.00 Halfords voucher and a free coffee ever month.

Phoned Tesco to cancel, didn't even try to ask why, or offer a different price.

presumably loads on a continuous renewal so they don't need to be competitive

Sought after classic Vauxhall due on 9th June.

The Mexican coupe due on 15th June.

I'm hoping I can insure the pair for  less than £500 if I shop around.

Roughly £730 for the Signum when taken in 12 monthly payments, and £600 due for second year road tax for the Bavarian.....If memory serves the first year was around £1400.

Have you tried the multi car route.  I used Admiral years ago and found it kept getting cheaper depending on who picked the phones up (Get the timeing right when the Canadians pick the phone  and if its a bloke start talking cars/pickups and for some reason the price drops)

I have looked, Skruntie.

It doesn't seem to be cheaper with just 2 cars. However, if I owned 200 cars like Jay Leno it would probably work out less expensive.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

A quick google suggests he owns 181 cars and 160 motorcycles.

Can't be short of a few bob.

I wonder if he'd like a Marina for his collection?     I know where there's a nice looking coupe finished in Royal Blue for sale. 

I don't think it's the desirable 1800TC version though.

That would be the cherry on the cake. He already owns a Macca F1 worth £12 million.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Try Direct Line they said.

Not on comparison sites they said.

Often cheaper they said.


I can now see why Direct Line are not willing to compete with Confused and the Meerkats. They'd be so far down the page that nobody would ever find them.


Meerkats....... £402
Confused.......£411
Direct line......£1356...

[dave the builder]

I just renewed my Omega insurance
over half an hour on the phone to get my old insurer to match "like for like" comparison site covers .
I told them NOT to retain the payment card details for next year and don't bother auto renewing 
over £100 more they wanted than other insurers 
they matched the "like for like" comparison price in the end

[Mr Skrunts]

Zenith - Aviva Zero - Swinton are the top 3 for renewal.  £4 difference between them.  Aill in the £195 + range.

Anyone had any issues with any of them?

Swinton are a complete PITA for pestering you once they've got your phone number IME.

[Doctor Gollum]

Used Zenith to good effect have a work pension with Aviva, but not exactly relevant. Avoid Swinton like the plague unless you want to be inundated with spam... Oh wait...

[Mr Skrunts]

Went with Zenith.

£194.74 cant complain.  Added key cover for an extra £15, covers car/home/garage /business etc.

So thats me sorted for another 12 Months.

[Mr Skrunts]

This is fun.  No communication, no mention of price, got an email from last years insurance company saying my Insurance has just been renewed. 

Had this when I was in hospital a few years ago.  Admiral took £750 from my bank for what ended up being £200/250ish worth of Insurance.

I have allways stated to Inurance companies I do not want Auto Renewal.

Gonna be fun if they have taken money.

Roll on trying to get through to them on the phone

[Mr Skrunts]

Sorted.

They had taken £267 from my account regardless of me ticking a box not to take payments.

Tried to charge me a £25 cancelation fee.  but Zenith allthough set to start the policy from 19/5/24 started it when I paid on 18/5/24 and have just saved me £25 so cant complain.

Also they tried to compete with Zenith and the best they price managed was £257

Both insured now.

M240i X-Drive............................£338.

Classic sought after Vauxhall which you are all jealous of ........£134

Total...£472.

I had to 'shop around' more than usual though as it appears insurance has gone up by about 30% this year.

[biggriffin]

 Just finished the insurance dance with all the comparison sites, for the Vivaro,
Biggest issue is I cannot carry 20+ years no claims over, so Vivaro locked in barn every night, sdp only, 2 named drivers cheapest £420, fully comp..

Hate to think what the multicar will be this year, with the Fat-arsed insignificant and the super Micra and a 17year old learner on the Micra :'(
