bigmike20vt Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 So with the new Thatcham insurance groups, apparently if your new group is doubled over the old one you stay the same. if it is more than doubled then the car has been regraded to a higher group effectively and if it is less than doubled it has been lowered. AFAIK the 350Z was group 20 its now group 45!!! so that will mean a big old increase on my premiums. Quote
bigmike20vt Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 pants that is even worse then like for like then it should only have come in at group 36. which puts it at a 25% jump in group!. Quote
Michael robinson Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I don't under stand what you mean ? I am renewing my insurance this month and mine is £500 cheaper and am only 23 year old with 5years no claims , And mines highly modified Quote
nixy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 what does all that mean then? I have to have a thatcham approved on mine for the insurance as it's an import - is this going to affect me? Quote

Apparently insurance is estimated to be going up across the board around 40% with almost all car insurers claiming to be operating at a loss at the moment due largely to the "where there is blame there is a claim" personal injury attitudes people have now.

Maths not your best subject then, previous highest group was 20, its now 50 so can't see how the old ones are just doubled. Quote

My maths is fine thanks.... I am just repeating how they tell you to work out how to get an idea on how it will effect you. the extra 10 points are for "niche" vehicles apparently which were inaccurate in the old system. But a B+ for trying on the sarcasm anyway. n Quote

JetSet Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Am I missing something here? According to the Thatcham site these new groups have been in operation since December 2009. http://www.thatcham.org/research/index.jsp?page=33 Pete Quote
Ekona Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 No, you're not missing anything, this is quite old news now. Your postcode and claims history will make far more difference than the new groupings ever would. Quote
Millzzz Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I randomly got a quote with the insurance company I'm currently with (Adrian Flux) & it's £401, last year it was £1670! Lol! Dropped over £1,200! Well, it's up for renewal this month so we'll see... Quote
