Wifes car insurance is due at the end of the month, been on compare the market, cheapest £255 dearest £1204.00 how on earth can they vary so much but on paper provide exactly the same cover.

The boring answer is that insurance companies look for a variety of risk categories to build a book of business. Some high risk high premium, some low risk, low premium.

The £1000+ means the insurer doesn't want your wife's level of risk. A bit like asking a busy builder to quote you on a job.

Think I'll accept that one just to piss them off..😂

Received the renewal invitation today from Carol Nash £199.32 ! That's a good result under £200 can't believe it, after hearing the horror stories some people are telling about motor insurance.

Mine was over £500 for the astra last year. It's a combination of my age and my postcode.

But I remember you posting last year that you weren't bothered about going with a big name, nor wanting all the bells and whistles.
I seem to remember that Go Skippy was about £280, might try someone like that this year.

Yes that's for the Range Rover simply because of its age I know it would  be written off as long as it's legal that's all I want, out of interest I've just had a look and Tesco would insure it for £270 fully comp.

Paid the insurance on the Toyota yesterday had one last check on the comparison site and eventually went with Tesco £40 more but includes absolutely everything + feedback was slightly higher than Carol Nash.
