Rookey Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Right, where to start... I'm 28, 2 years no claims, no crashes or convictions or points on the license... Yet when calling my insurers (let's call them Gaydrian Clux) to register a change of address, they've upped my premium to, wait for it, £3700!!!! I've got two options, pay the monumental difference in premium today (can't split the payments apparently), or cancel my policy today. Looks like this is my last day of driving the Supra for a while. Roof's coming off and I've got an 80 mile drive home from a meeting... Regardless of the cold weather I'm gonna enjoy it!! Just needed to rant. I'll be back in a Supra soon Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALAND Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Insurance price in uk seems to be crazy:blink: For a uk spec supra, i use to pay 45 euro/ Months.( everthing includes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Holy hell! I'm glad I shelled out for a UK spec as even if the insurance goes up for me in January, I've only paid £880 this year (22, 3 years NCB, no points). That's a crazy quote they've given you.

Chris Wilson Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The recent riots have knocked hell out of underwriters, that will be being assimilated into all our premiums, so the only way is up, up, up Plus frivolous claims, funds for uninsured driver payouts, blah blah. God knows where it will end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on a multicar policy with both parents on. My step mum halved my quote, if I were you I'd take your dad off as having testes is big no no for insurance companies ! Mines on a multicar policy 3000 miles a year, on drive in a nice area and has a tracker fitted. I also got them to mirror my no claims onto my second car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines on a multicar policy 3000 miles a year, on drive in a nice area and has a tracker fitted. I also got them to mirror my no claims onto my second car I removed him when I did it before and it went up by like £30. I may call them and check again, he never drives it anyway! I asked the guy at Admiral about fitting a tracker and he said it wouldn't make any difference. I still want to get one though, just in case. I think I've got mine at 5,000 miles a year.

ozz Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I was dreading insurance renewal as people have been saying for months to expect a 25% increase. My zed cost around £450 last year, I just done some test quotes and the cost is coming in same for current insurer and less with others. will have to see what my renewal notice says but certainly not the jump I was expecting. £430 tax is still salty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Not that I condone it however it does explain why so many people drive uninsured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
