Ridiculous insurance renewal costs

[sportse]

Having been quoted £740 for the Jazz, I ran a quote for a VW Golf GTI performance pack (245hp) with the same company …

It was £500!

Still something funny with Jazz insurance.

Still something funny with Jazz insurance.

Or maybe better: Still something funny with insurance companies?

Our Jazz was insured on September 1, 2021 for € 569,-
The last time (in June 2020) that we insured its predecessor, a Toyota Yaris Hybrid, the (identical) insurance cost us... €625,-
A year earlier, a 3-year-old Yaris with a lower purchase price, insured about 10% more expensive.

In a month we will have to renew the insurance, I wonder....

Just insured with CSIS. Very reasonable quote, below £300.

Mine is due to renew at end of month - quotes are all well below £270. Age - over 70, NCB over 15 years, Crosstar, kept off road, 5000 miles. no business - so no idea why people are being charged more.

I was dreading my renewal from LV but it’s come in a bit cheaper than the comparison sites. New price £232, last year £200 so about 16% increase.
I’m happy (ish!) to the point I’m not gonna bother ringing them to get any more discount. Just won £65 on the lottery too! 

I rang LV about extra cost of a named driver. Didn’t go through with it but they did reduce the original £232 down to £220. Some companies seem better than others!

The last few posts show a trend towards more sensible quotes.  Lets hope those insurers who were nervous of change and wanted silly money, or refused to quote at all, are beginning to see sense .Or too many customers going elsewhere.

It does make a difference where you live. Poole (large busy conurbation) is cheaper than Sherborne (small quiet country town) No logic!
I am 76 (car insurance increases exponentially after 75, so expect yours to rise in 6 years time.  15 years NCB 7k miles a year. Aviva £283.
I presume quotes for £700 are for London domicile, or similar.

It seems its not just car insurance premiums that have gone mad.
I received my renewal quote today regarding my house insurance  from More-Than and was staggered to see that the house & contents premium has risen 75%, ie from £335 to £587, why, nothing has changed?

I was able to speak to a very nice young lady at their office, who after some discussion, was able to offer some 'discounts' on the premium, bringing it down to £493, still a 47% increase.

She did mention that there had been some reorganisation in the industry which meant that all clients, both old and new, would be paying the same rates. Looks as though we all paying more rather than less, no surprise there then

Just took out insurance with Tesco - £216 for year.

In yet another Ill thought through legal act, the government decided to ban new customer discounts as they thought existing customers would be treated the same with lower premiums - all that’s happened is because there are no discounts for new customers there isn’t the same pressure on the companies to be competitive to match the discounted prices to prevent you going elsewhere.

We have LV vehicle insurance, a multi-car policy for our motorhome and my Jazz EX, with Unison discount the Jazz renewal today was £183, up from £150 last year.   Two drivers, both aged 70, NE England.   Limited to 4000 miles PA.  We have 4000 mile limit on our other car and 5000 mile limit on the motorhome.....

We have both had to change insurer this year due to premium hikes of 25-30% from last year, from QMH and esure.

OH got her Jazz back down to £170* with Carole Nash, but with a reduced mileage of 8,000 now both kids will be at Uni. My Vauxhall Insignia estate came in at £168 with Hastings, 12,000 miles. We are in a low risk postcode.
