Has anyone else noticed their insurance go up massively for no apparent reason? My renewal for my puma has gone up by more than £200 with no claims, no points, no changes at all !

turbolee

time to get ringing round then or ring insurance and ask why such a big increase

visa_broke

it used to happen each year for me, you either accept it and stick with the company because you think you are still getting a good deal, or go elsewhere and get a better deal off a different company.

Which insurance company? bell direct was the worst for this

Oranoco

That's because Bell are part of the Admiral group and are a useless bunch of fuckwits who I wouldn't let insure my toaster.

I hope not. I only pay £288 per year with 0 no claims and 3 points for speeding.

Go on Confused.com I got some cracking quotes over the last few months. No point staying with the same insurer, they don't value you.

Swiftcover- they couldn't explain the increase I tried loads and rang loads all ridiculous prices ! Used a different laptop and tried money supermarket and actually got some decent quotes the AA came out best ..still £100 more than last year tho 😡 And swift came up £100 less than my renewal..greedy gets !!

Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. If you wanted to PM me some contact details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back.
Car insurance in general has increased quote substantially over the last 12 months together with last year increase in insurance premium tax.
Regards,
Dan.

Thanks Dan I got a quote from Adrian flux unfortunately for 3 X the value of my car though 😔 I'll keep looking

What you need to do is to go on your current companies website and get a quote as if you are a new customer. I guarantee you it will be considerably cheaper than what you've been quoted for your renewal, it may even be cheaper than what you paid last year. Then shop around to see if anyone can beat that quote. If no one can, then ring them up and confront them about it. Again, I guarantee they will give you the lowet price. I've done this for about the last four years with Admiral as we have a multi car policy. It's a bit of a ball ache but well worth it. This year they tried to sting me for an extra £300 ish. I got a quote as a new customer and ended up staying with Admiral with a price that was less than I paid last year. I even explain to them on the phone that this happens every year, but every year they try it on and we have to go through the motions!

Let us know how you get on!

Insurance company's work on commission so they will do anything to keep you..

Ring around and get the best price then call the company that your with and most of the time they will match it or beat it.

never accept renewals always shop around as loyalty means nothing to these companys in this day and age

Vacuman

I apply the same rule to women

fuzzy

Loyalty is seen as a weakness to exploit.

not always, was with need2insure for many years but renewal premuim was £152 more than a fresh quote from flux, and funny thing was it was the same insurance underwriter too I was already with, shop around is always best advice

I find it funny how a 3.5% tax rise ends up costing us more than 10%. Guess everyone to do with insurance is laughing all the way to the bank except for the policy holders.
