I have been with LV for around 20 years now ( extra discount for civil servants ) for the last 3 years my premium has come down by 10% each year ! It will be interesting to see what happens this year.

Insurance companies best friend is complacency. Over the years I have saved several thousand pounds by shopping around every year for insurance. being a business owner I not only have my personal circumstances to insure but also my business this results in me having to insure  about sixteen risks a bit of a pain but  when it come time to renew but well worth the effort :y

Welcome to my world    ;D

Insurance in this little country has risen by anything between 75 to 150 % in the last couple of years . Last year the cartel of major players decided to decline insurance on cars older than 15 years and evidence is creeping in now that this year the cut off has been revised to >10 .
I was really upset at the quotes , and disinterest , that I was getting when trying to secure insurance for my 16 yo Omega .
However , seek and ye shall find . After an eternity on the 'phone I found one of the national banks offering a deal for an all boxes ticked comprehensive for less than I paid 10 years ago. All paid for and in place now  :y
I'm sure you will get a reasonable quote but you'll have to work at it to find it.
I'd say that, like over here , rampant greed has become the mantra of your insurers and underwriters who having you in a captive and ring fenced market  , can do what they wish with premiums and blame it on whatever reason they wish.
It's possible that with a little push your government will look into the reasons for these absurd hikes but then again, like here ,they are gaining from it too.....

I always shop around. I wanted my insurance to start on 1st Feb this year & I usually get quotes of £240-ish, but this year I was gob-smacked at the quotes. last year Hastings was my insurer & I declined their renewal ( over £600 ) and shopped around via go compare & settled for £288 & my policy ticks all the boxes including a proper breakdown cover. Guess what its with Hastings. About £ 240 cheaper than my renewal quote.

I've just had a quote from Hastings direct. My 1.4 astra, 62 years of age, 15000 miles, wifey as named driver.........£544......... :o
This is looking grim. £640 from aviva for both cars is actually starting to sound reasonable. :(

Even better, thanks :y
When I get pulled, I'll say 'I was gonna get insured, but some traffic cop told me I'd be better just taking the points as it's so expensive these days'.  ;D

Mine has gone up X 3 on the Discovery, when the renewals due, last time £150 quotes now are north of £450 on restricted mileage. The Skoda & SWMBO's Fiesta are due next month and I'm looking at about £1200 the pair  :o :o :o
