Bit fed up today as I have just got my car insurance renewal quote.
Background: I am 40 and drive a Group16 car. Have been driving since 1995 without any accidents.
2 years ago my insurance went from approx €550 to €800, and I had to move to 3rd party for the 1st time in my motoring life to get the quote back down to €590.
Then another year of trouble-free motoring.
Quote today is €880. Called them up and the best they can do is €840. Only 1 other insurer available to change to and they are €788.
I asked why my insurance is continually rising when I never ever claim. Always get the "they're all rising, its terrible". My response of "its time you hammered those that crash instead of those that don't" usually falls on deaf ears.
Now got to the stage when I feel I have to sell on my old classic car that I have put so much time and money into and buy a regular 1.1 Corsa or something, just to try to save some money.
Anybody else having similar issues? Is anybody's insurance actually decreasing?
