theft!

[350 Russ]

ive just been looking into how much will my insurance cost next year, i was hoping for a nice surprise and drop below the 1000 mark but how wrong could i be!! im 24 live in rickmansworth and have 6 years ncb, my premuim this year on my 03 jdm is 1200 which i thought wasnt too bad but ive just been looking and they want for my next years insurance 2174!!!!!!!!! thats with admiral and that is the cheapest i found on all the comparison sites! i tried to be naughty and not declare any mods and no use only dropped to 2038.

if i cant find a cheaper insurance premium before september i will definatly be selling the zed! its just not worth it with the petrol prices going through the roof aswell

How come its gone up?

[350 Russ]

no idea! ive never claimed and ive got a clean license! im baffled

[evest]

What is their justification for the increase? Wouldn't bother with the comparison sites. Various insurers recommended on here mate - Bell, Chris Knott, Adrian Flux to name a few. Call direct for the best deal - any them should be mod friendly too. Hope this helps.

Try putting your information in as a new customer on thw wesbite and see what quote comes out, if its lower then call and say this is what you will pay. Normally they will go with it.

is that what it said on your actual renewal? Maybe if you phone them it will be different.

my renewal isnt until september but i was a bit bored earlier and put all my details in as they will be in sep just to see what i would get, i wish i hadnt now

[nixy]

I dont think it will happen - try not to worry.

I've heard of this happening elsewhere.

 

One of the girls at work had her insurance renewal through and it had doubled. When she asked why, aparently there has been an increase across the board due to all the accidents in the bad weather.

 

Added to that the steady increase in uninsured drivers means the normal law abiding ones end up paying.

 

She kicked off, after some negotiation they dropped it a lot, but not all the way.

Try Bell, Chris Knott, Elephant and a few others. Bound to get cheaper than that!

My premium went up as well when my renewal came through ...

 

I just took out a new policy with Bell.co.uk last week and was satisfied with the quote they gave me ...

 

Have you tried some of the less popular comparison sites such as:

or

Defenetly call them 2/3 weeks before the insure expire but only after you done your homeworks calling other companies.

I live 5 min drive from you got 5 years NCB the only main difference it that I'm 28 and my last/first insurance for the Zed was £800 with direct line (same as you no mods and low milage declared)

Wait to see what your renewal says

 

If it goes up, all it means is that your now in a section of their portfolio that effectively they don't want to cover anymore, so they hike up the renewals, then you go elsewhere. It could be down to postcode, occupation, car, age or anything else they deem to be risky.

quinn insurance or something similar went under recently which is causing a major backlash on insurance supposedly + the bad winter we had so premiums have gone sky high of late...(info off a friend who works for aviva) keep the faith bud, it will drop hopefully by the time it is for you to re new

 

 

-ho
