Plus older cars are more dangerous for occupants so just because a car is old doesn't mean it's cheaper to insure."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I've only found it's the driver's age and no claims bonus that make any significant difference to insurance quotes (plus the obvious "one horse town" versus "Central London" location of the car).Last edited by nomadd; 13 June 2010, 19:05.nomadd liked this postComment

My Nissan 350Z sports car lives at my parent's place in Devon and costs me £330 fully comp.
Location is a pain in the arse (wallet)Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Just had to renew my insurance and this years quotes were some 50% higher than last year (same car, no points, no claims) it appears, at least according to the 20 odd companies I spoke to, that the rates have gone up a big chunk.
My home post code is a problem too which makes insurance far from cheap to start off with.Comment

The age and cost of your car has an impact on the component that is used to cover damages to your car. This is smaller than the above component.Comment
