Opening the post before and found a letter with my renewal documents in from Aviva. I was expecting it to go down. I was rather wrong. Aviva have decided they want £2478 for a year. After I'd cleaned up the tea I'd sprayed everywhere I went on the internet for a look around. I tried Aviva again first.



I will ring them up and speak to them about what else they can do to knock the price down a bit. Decided to try Go Compare too to see what they could do.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA



At this rate (even with Aviva) the car will be going because I just can't afford to insure it. It's probably only worth about £1200 on a good day!

thats rediculous money,a 17 year old hoodie wearing asbo lout would pay less i reckon!!

Whats making it so high?

age?
driving history?
location?

[Lazydocker]

That's ridiculous... I pay less than that for full trade coverage

I'm 20, 3 points from December 2009 when I was done for using a phone while driving despite showing the call log where it was obvious no calls were made or recieved and a non fault accident from March last year when it was hit while parked on the driveway by the numpty from next door. Location is pretty good. Pretty low crime statistics.

Oddly I'm not getting much less for 1.4 Corsa's. Think I'm just one of 'dem yoofull chavs dat got to show off to da babes in da street, innit.'

No wonder there's so many uninsured drivers on the roads, very few who just passed their test must be able to afford it. Got a mate that drives a 1.2 clit with no accidents or points and he's paying £2100 for it. AND he can't drive it between 11pm and 5am.

something is wrong there, surely! 

[omega3000]

Jeez !! Thought mine was steep at £400 

[adey2]

i only pay 1000 for 3 cars, thats the 3.0 mig elite, a toyota hilux surf 3.0 auto import, and a vectra 2.0 lpg, thats me and missis fully comp on all 3, all parked on driveway overnight too, through admiral multicar

[rikki_essex]

try direct line they was always the cheapest buy far for me when i was 20

My nephew who is 21 and drives an 04 1.4 Megane pays almost £2000 a year and he's got no points and lives in a good area of Chester, its a rip off 

[Elite Pete]

Bloody Hell, look at the Excess costs as well

[fiend61]

are you sure that you didnt put your omega value at £12000   

but in all honesty they are bloody stupid prices and as you said no wonder so many uninsured drivers on the road even with a fine for no insurance you would get nowhere near them figures !!!!!!!!!!    what are you swapping mig for then a unicycle? as it only has one wheel surely you can quarter them quotes 
have a look around at the quotes from people such as directline and others that are not on price comparison sites 

[I_want_an_Omega]

That's madness. My Daughter (23) only pays £376 fully comp on her Corsa 1.0, she only passed her test last year. £350 excess.

Considering the excess, the only thing you're insuring is the person you hit - you're not going to get anything back for your own car at all.. madness.

[tgm147]

Tried a few other companies now but not got to Direct Line yet and Aviva is still by far the cheapest.

I did have a play around with the excess amounts. With Aviva if I put the excess up to £500, the policy cost goes UP to £2500 a year, if I lower it to £150 (I think it was anyway) it also went to £2500. If I keep it at the standard £350 then the price stays down. How strange.

In all seriousness I looked at going back to the car I started in, a bottom of the range spec 1.0 Corsa C. It was still over £1900 a year.
