car insurance

[j j m 6,533]

got my renewal for my 2 cars today Tesco had put it up pounds last year and tried it again putting it up 70 this year,went on line and got it for half the price of my renewal cost,how can one insurance company slash it like that and I got a better deal then I had with tesco

My last renewal (on my 3 cars)  was actually less than I could get it from comparison sites.

I renewed the missus car insurance last year and saved over £100 on the renewal cost even though I just renewed it with the same company..

Didn't you say you had an accident earlier this year? That would bung your premium up regardless of fault. 

[j j m 6,533]

yes but it was not my fault I was hit from behind bye a double decker bus mate,

[j j m 6,533]

yes I see what your saying it did show up on the renewal as a accident even though I was not to blame how does that one work

[j j m 6,533]

I think your right mate,its a licence to print money car insurance

Fault doesn't matter as far as these shysters are concerned, hence the question on your application "have you been involved in an accident whether your fault or not in the last 3 years?"

Mine went up £20 one year because some knob drove into my towbar while trying to park and he reported it to his insurance company. When I went to renew, there was a "claim" on my file. And all insurers can see it. If you don't mention it, it can invalidate your insurance.

[j j m 6,533]
