kimba Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think you are paying for the idiocy of others in cars of the same type. This always happens with insurance....the risk is assessed with type / history. Here's one i remember where a Honda Civic Type R and a Ford Focus ST seemed to be racing each other & a woman in a Nissan Micra was killed..... http://nwsheffield.org/2010/03/07/appeal-for-death-crash-witnesses/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8554101.stm http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=551950&highlight=crash+halifax+road http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8558017.stm That's why your insurance has gone up! Change your car or stump up i'm afraid! No because ive tried for an astra sri was gonna px myne and that was £940 so i tried for a megane that was more or less same price thena clio 1.5 deisel was like 800 something so i thought il just stick in a 1.2 and guess wat that was £800 n odd where are the insurers getting there figures from i just dont get it! May as stick wi civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimba Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 You've already said your insurance would be cheaper with a different car...? Change your car... What so what you are suggesting is that i go down to a 1.2 clio save £140 in insurance when i can pay the extra drive a 2litre and mostly stick to the car i have had for a year which i know is safe and in good sound condition? Where has your £300-400 figure come from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftlad Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Whats a multicar policy as my partner has a car too? we go with admiral insurance and if you have two or more cars you can insure them together and make quite a saving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsdearlove Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Why? ... In a nutshell people are making more insurance claims! These might help! Compare Car Insurance @ Tiger.co.uk or Car Insurance Quotes @ Swinton Insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traceyoneill Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 after renewal quote of £2258 for my son, we got quote from admiral for 21yr old male, licence for 2 years 1 accident 1yr no claims quote £663, my renewal quote £360 got a quote from admiral, iam 44yr old female, licence 11ys, 9 yr no claims £623, it doesn`t make any sense, but pays to shop around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well i have tried both the links sent (Thanks) And the tiger 1 was £986 the other was thousands. Tried the multicar and that 2 and half grand my partners is only 700 so i would be better getting them seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If you've passed your test within the last 18 months, why not ask if doing Pass Plus will help? It can halve your premiums sometimes. Also, if you're under 25, I have details of an insurance company who might be able to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
