By the time I get to that stage they'll probably be routinely euthanising people of a 'certain age' so I won't have to worry about my car insurance. :-\ ::) ;D

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% :o,, 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) ::) :y :y

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.

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. :-\ ;D

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

To tax the large arsed insignia,, that runs on forklift fuel costs a staggering £20 English pounds per year, and it's paid in one go...none of this instalment rubbish ;D

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. :D
Meerkats....... £402
Confused.......£411
Direct line......£1356... ;D

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
-
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.
-
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... >:D
-
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. :y
-
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 ::)
-
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. :y
Also they tried to compete with Zenith and the best they price managed was £257 :-X

The Mexican coupe due on 15th June.
I'm hoping I can insure the pair for less than £500 if I shop around.
Both insured now.
M240i X-Drive............................£338.
Classic sought after Vauxhall which you are all jealous of >:D ........£134
Total...£472.
I had to 'shop around' more than usual though as it appears insurance has gone up by about 30% this year.
-
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 :'(
-
Last year the RRS was £364 with LV this year's renewal £587 ,no claims & I have maximum no claims bonus, renewed with Quote me happy £255 & I am indeed very happy 😁
As long as I'm legal I couldn't give a monkeys who I'm insured with a 16 year old vehicle will be written off for the minimum amount of damage. So both vehicles now insured for a total of £442 👍

The Mondeo's renewal has come in. ::)
Last year: £171.65

That sounds quite high for a man of advanced year from rural Darzett driving something as mundane as a Mondeo.
Twice what I pay for my classic Vauxhall. :)

Just renewed the Mondeo's insurance with First Alternative for £177.55, via Go Compare, via Top Cashback and assuming the cash back of £42 comes in I'll pay a grand total of £135.55. :y

Just insured the V70. £200.39 with First Alternative via Go Compare, via Top Cashback so should get £40 cashback. :y
My renewal from Esure was £284, and it turns out that First Alternative is an Esure company! ;D
Direct Line... ::) They used to be competitive and I've used them loads over the years. Their quote was £484! :-\
-
Saved £460 on our car insurances this year, switched both cars from LV whose quotes had increased by over 50 percent, Range Rover now insured with Quote me happy £255 & the Subaru with Carole Nash £187 , both from compare the market.
-
Paying about £1,200 for my two, but that was the best I could get at their respective renewals.
Probably doesn't help that they spend half the time parked at an airport :D Also insured for a decent mileage rather than an underestimate.
