Car Insurance

[Mr Skrunts]

Rarely do I watch the news but this morning I saw a mention that car insurance has rissen 61%  WTF .

[Doctor Gollum]

Because we're driving about five times more miles than 2020/2021, electric cars are generally written off for even minor damage (actually that's true of many newer cars because of the delay getting parts) and one person single handedly burnt down a multi storey car park with about 1,500 cars in it.

Mine has jumped about 40%, from just over £400 to £600 for the pair of them

£300 ish for the Mexican. Roughly half that for the Signum.

And deemed to be too old to work out which pedal is which, and drive through the front of Kevin Wood's local chippy?

Probably, if I could drive that far in the first plaice.

Must admit i didn't really notice any difference when i turned seventy. There again it was over eight years ago so.....

My insurance renewal last month for one car would have been a 40% increase but a quick call to them reduced it to a 16% increase, so I'm happy enough with that. Always worth a call.

My auto renew was 5% cheaper than last year----------------

Ah...old people and the brake/accelerator confusion problem.

Yup, one of my old customers "parked" here car in the middle of a roundabout for that very reason. Wrote it off!

Just watched a video on you tube.......some bloke slagging off electric cars. He has a Porsche thingy, had it two years. He reckons his insurance last year was 600 quid, this year they want over 3,000 quid  He bought the car for over a hundred grand new, still owes over 70 grand.....Porsche offered him
60,000 for it part exchange, and We Buy Any Car, 51,000. He tried some other insurance companies, and some won't even insure EV's !!!!
He also reckons Rishi putting back the cut off date to 2035 has contributed to the devaluation, as both Porsche and WBAC both offered him slightly more before the announcement. !!!
