Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 the consumer council here has made a complaint to the office of fair trading because of the prices. around 89% higher here than over the water I'd guess the price difference is based on historical events, I know I wouldn't want to be leaving my car parked in some of the places over there! And that would be on both sides. haha very true that pal, but the prices where unbeliveably high during the quietist times aswell. where i live now theres no trouble and it would still cost me about 3 grand to insure a 1.6 car and im 25 and have my license 2 year. robbing c**ts if ye ask me. 3 grand!!!! That is harsh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chook1 184 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Everyone's insurances have gone up this year, i dont tend to stick to just one insurance when my policy is due for renewal, i go on the confused.com site and look round do this every year.

Bulldogman 55 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Last year i got a car for the misses to learn in, did a deal with her mother and got a megane scenic auto for her 2.0, she was 23 and on a provisional licience, £1100 to insure with kwik fit, fair enough. (i was 40 and have a co car but given her age and prov licence understood premium risks) renewal came in after passing her test £3300....i phoned up asked them if they was on crack? Direct line got policy back to £1k but given she is still only 24 and its fully comp on a 2ltr for ferrying kids i thought that was fair enough... Shop around mate, all you can do...

It was with AXA through a broker called Thamesbank. I've used them for years and they've always been really good, I've not spoken to them yet as I've only just got the renewal notice. I will be doing some proper shopping around though, as that's just taking the piss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratreeper 441 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 A tip for anyone with third party F&F is get a quote for fully comp. Mine was £300 cheaper fully comp, the logic being third party seem to be more wreckless drivers/younger I think. Seriously though try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,791 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I had a call back today from my insurers asking if I'd got another quote..."Too feckin' true fella" I tells him, "£276 cash or £302 on the never never". "Erm, I'll see if I can do any better from that first price I gave you yesterday", (over £500). Taps on the key board for a minute...."How about £450 and £160 cash back in 3 months?". "Can't you do any better?" says I....Pause, tapping on key board, " How about £190 cash back?"....."I'll think about it fella". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
