hi  just renewed my insurance last year £476  went on line got quote from my insurance £335 phoned them up for renewel price( had not arrived ) told £386 siad no have qoute from you gaurenteed untill 12 march ( my policy ran till 5 march) for said price they came back with£356 extra £21 was because someone decided to hit me in the rear while stationary at roundabout bit much when you pay extra because of no fault of your own  stlii was cheaper than last year and thats with full ncb  same has last year

Unfortunately insurance is just a lottery. Postcodes have far more impact than any other factor. Statistics are something that can always be made to read whatever is wanted

Amusingly, the renewal for SWMBO's Panda has just dropped through the door. Admiral... Last year was about £250, this year £550

Admittedly she had a Fault claim and a windscreen claim (on the courtesy car ) but they haven't added either of them to the renewal information and her NCB was/is protected anyway but even so

Fortunately I have already got her (and the car) on my trade policy which gives FC cover on any vehicle which cost me....... £493 to add her with full disclosure of the claims

Where's the sense in that Needless to say, Admiral can take a hike as the car and driver are already on cover... I just left her policy to run because we would have had to pay it in full anyway

Had the same with Elephant (= admiral). Bumped the premium up by a couple of hundred then omitted the 2 no fault incidents (of which they were aware)  from the renewal schedule. When I phoned them up to tell them it was <suck through teeth> this might affect your premium.

I told them that I'd already had a quote for £200 less, so if the premium was going further up and there was no hope of haggling it down they might as well not waste their time. Bye.

Fortunately it's irrelevant... Although I might ring them and have a play before I tell them where to go

I will be having a word with Admiral tomorrow, got a couple of insurances through today and they have charged me £125 for a 30 day policy on a 2.0l Mig, they quoted £31 something that quote was to include the £94 extra for the current Mig but had a separate invoice for that......I will be moving away from Admiral in September when we are due to renew, Master Vamps will be on his own, and I can go back to competitive quotes.....

This issue was resolved successfully without a problem, even better I got an English (Welsh) operator.......must only go to India sometimes......   Will still be resorting to shopping around when this Policy ends though...

I just had my renewal through from Axa - £696.99.

I got it down to £485 through Chris Knott, and the level of cover is much better than Axa too.

That's on the 2.5 CDX Estate with 3 yrs NCD and one no fault claim (hit while parked, third party assumed full responsibility).
