Well guys, I have now bit the bullet and renewed my insurance, for my 23 plate Advance Jazz, with my existing company (NFU) for £1267. The only difference to the previous year was, 21 plate EX, 1 year older (87) and one of the additional drivers now has a speeding ticket!
I realise that my age and also the fact that the car is only a few months old, has a significant effect on the premium, also mileage it set at 9000 miles..
I have checked with several of the comparison websites and also tried a broker.
The cheapest quote was from Confused.com at £1687.90, over £400 extra, with some companies quoting silly money £4000+ !!!
Not so many years ago, older drivers were considered to be the safest, what has changed? As I said in a previous post, I have been driving nearly 70 years, without an accident that was my fault, last claim 2015 (rear end shunt) protected NCB.
Anyway rant over, better start saving for next years renewal, if I’m still around???
