jonny_sniper93 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hey all, A bit of a general question but have people noticed a big increase in their insurance renewal quotes? This time last year my insurance was around £550-600 with many companies on price comparison sites (I got it for £580 with Admiral), where as this year my renewal quote and prices on comparison sites is closer to £800. All that has happened in the past year is I've gained a years no claims so I can only assume insurers have bumped up the prices a hell of a lot. Cheers, Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hasn't gone up that much. Perhaps your area or car is now considered more high risk. Renewals are always inflated 20-30% anyway, I call it the try it on fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pullock Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I know in the budget this year Insurance Premium tax should be going up another 0.5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 i know this isn't possible for most people but when i was on compare the market changing the start date from next day to a month later the price drop was about £200 for me, luckily managed to get decent insurance when i got my fez.

mills705 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 last few months has seen an increase in general insurance rates across the board.... Mine stayed the same after shopping around though. Start dates not the factor its how far infront you quote... people that do it in advance are seen as less risk rather than those that do it night before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevb123 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 go on confused.com and get the cheapest quote then tell your insurance the price,they will match it. my renewal was 200 more than the same companies confused.com quote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_sniper93 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Cheers for your replies everyone, very helpful. I'll have a shop around to find the right price (still got over a month) and then ring them up for a haggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
