[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It could be worse.

Last year I paid £130 for myself, wife, and protected NCB.

The renewal is £155.

A phone call dropped the price to £143 and free legal cover (worth £27 so they tell me)

Not exactly a result but like I say it could have been worse.

Mines not due for a couple of months yet,be interesting to see what numbers they come up with this year as have stayed with same company for about 7yrs now.

Some pay £130 a month and consider that reasonable

Some pay £130 a month and consider that reasonable 

They must be 17 years old and live in a part of the country that is always on fire.

Think i pay a bit more than some as Meerkat's values have been on the increase 

[minifreek]

I pay £59 a month and can't get it lower.....

Someone call for me?

Nope, no joke...

The insurance companies think I live in the middle of a war zone, I'm 100% convinced they do...

I don't understand how a 44 year old, married man with 3 kids, full no claims bonus (maximum of 9 years) and no points on my licence, cannot get cheap car insurance...

It doesn't matter what car I insure, it's always expensive...

What I think it is - I don't declare that I work, I am fulltime carer for my disabled wife, so probably won't use my car unless absolutely neccessary - it never gets used at peak times, only ever used during the day when it is a lot less busy....

OK I know Wigan is not the most glamourous of places - coz it 'oop norf' but it isn't a ruddy warzone, theres no burnt out cars around anywhere near, nor is there any boarded property to stop thieves etc... it pisses me off that my 20 year old nephew, who lives on the other side of Wigan to me, drives a Seat Cupra can get his insurance for £300 cheaper than me....?

See if it makes a difference.

For occupation write 'full time carer'.

There is something very wrong with a man your age being charged so much.

Just insured a ford KA for my 17 year old daughter £1340 and she lives in a decent area and has a pass plus

Insurance companies have always been able to charge what they like  They are worse than the great british wBanker's , ive never been able to get what you would call cheap insurance but every year i can beat the quote by a fair bit by shopping around  Why dont the insurance companies do that for you 

Think i'll move to Lincolnshire next to the Manor
