Help
Up for renewal on 20th - last years Fully Comp premium was £320. This years it has shot up to £500-600!!
PR postcode doesn't help, nor 3 points on license, but this does seem a serious hike. Anyone else renewing recently also seeing this?

Try Admiral.
I have just renewed our cars insurance, on a multi-car policy.
2 year old Toyota Verso 2.2 TD and my FRP, both prot Comp with commuting on both.
Rover 100 TPFT with my 18 year old daughter on with one year NCD.
All covered for Just over £1300, which I though was great considering my mate pays more than that for his 18 year old son in a Vauxhall Corsa.

apparently it's something to do with the rise in uninsured drivers having incidents...means everyone that does bother to get insurance has to pay more to cover it
i moved from one part of reading to another 3 years ago, premium went up from £300 to 400 cos it's a dodgy area. when i moved back 3 months ago, i was expecting it to go back down, but it went UP again, another 100. Moral of the story - don't move house!

Mine is due on 11th Jan and my renewal was £280 from Adrian Flux. I couldn't get close to this price elsewhere.
I'm 35, 3 points and my wife had a claim through my insurance a few years ago, so not bad at all.

That Adrian Flux quote seems very reasonable to me - far lower than any others I've seen. Presumably they have a much better way of qualifying and defining risk for a Puma - are they specialist performance car insurers? I have heard their name mentioned in relation to bike insurance.

Got my renewal through from direct line - currently pay about £780 and it's dropeed to £750, had a hunt on the comparison sites and could get it down to £650, added my girlfriend on who's younger and had her license for a shorter period of time and the quotes dropped to £450! WIN!
