Mine jumed from about 500 up to 1000 because of 2 minor claims. Shopped around and got it back down to 466. Will definately continue shopping around next year - they are all a bunch of rip off merchants
The thing I really hate about insurance companies is that they tie the customer down with all the small print, to avoid paying out, but when they do, they happily pay over the odds to the garage for the work. In my case, when the scrotes broke into my car, all that was needed was a new door handle and a bit of paint. The lock was not damaged. Total cost £672.00 and the dopey feckers paid it. The one before that, I nudged a car when I tried to get through a gap which ultimately proved too narow for my car. I never bothered having the 'damage' put right as it was so minor. They paid out £452. Why do they happily pay over the odds to the garage? That is who you are subsidising.

Mine was up for renewal last week at a price of £318.
Did the usual and looked on confused.com, elephant.co.uk etc and determined that this was a fair price for renewal as the cheapest quotes I was getting were in that area (most of the quotes were way above this price).
As I go through a broker, called them up, told them I had a lower quote from More Than at £285 and they came back with £272.
Fifty squids saved for about 10mins work. Sorted.

My insurance is now down to £230 for me and the missus, down from about twice that 5 years ago. Excellent.

You wanna try buying yourself a car for xmas and birthday. The proceeding years when all the bills drop on the mat along with the birthday cards can become a tad irritating.

My Feckin' Car Insurance Again!!!!
I feckin hate June. It's the month my car insurance renewal quote comes through and then I spend sh1t loads of time on confused.com, moneysupermarket.com and all the rest trying to find a competitive quote that ain't so competitive when you read the small print. Quote me happy? B0ll0x, I'd be lucky to be quoted mildly contented!
What is it with insurance comapnies? I've held a full licence and drove for 26 years. I've never been involved in any accident, never had a motoring conviction and still my feckin' premium goes up on average by £50 a year.
