Cold, sunny and windy down here. My car insurance was due beginning of January and it increased by about £50 so shopped around and got it cheaper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t phoned them yet - just collecting information and other quotes at the moment. Up till now LV have always been the lowest for these cars - both Group 14, and both an identical £240 to renew. I suspect they’ll still be cheapest, but a 20% increase seems a lot. Mileage on each of the two in the last 12 months well under 1000! I just used Moneysupermarket - easy to compare everything, and the quotes were cheaper than Direct Line, who always seemed to be cheapest in the past.

Graham, I guess you must pay a premium as you use your car for work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted February 10, 2021 #15530 Share Posted February 10, 2021 2 hours ago, Harry Peterson said: Changing the subject slightly, has anyone noticed an unusual jump in car insurance premiums lately? Mine came through this morning and they’re up by just over 20% (LV) for no obvious reason. Obviously, I’ll check around and negotiate, but just wondered if this is a typical increase? My car insurance renewal with LV increased considerably in January and also renewal did not include same "extras" as last year i.e. legal cover, courtesy car etc. so I shopped around and saved a fortune by booking with Aviva on one of the comparison websites which surprised me because they havent always been on there in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common practise for being "loyal". I just phone them up,have a moan and they reduce it back to last years price.I'm buggered really cos Saga is only 1 of 2 companies that give unlimited cover in EU but I don't tell them that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still with the Direct and when my car got hit with a van it looked a right mess . I phoned them up and they swung into action .They took it away gave me a hire car and 3 days later I had the car back looking great. They assigned a person to my case and I didn't have to do a thing . Now when I had to claim off my travel insurance due to my current illness with another company ,everything was done via e-mail , Good but not as good as a UK call centre . When shopping around I would rather have someone to talk to if the savings on Insurance is not a great deal, if like me you have someone plough into you at 4:45 am on a deserted dual carriageway that service comes in handy .

Worth seeing what the Meerkats offer? My last two private cars were groups 33 and 49 (under the new 50 categorisations) and I was only paying around £350 for fully comp with protected NCB and 10,000 miles including commuting. I do have maximum no claims and live in a fairly low risk area, but believe that you do too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was unchanged, I did query it though because of the reduced mileage, and managed to get a minor reduction by accepting a reduced mileage for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
