Car Insurance!!!

Sorry i was just doing a quick quote as i already had all my details saved in google i just had to chance the car details. I wasn't sure how much they were to be honest. I wouldn't buy one until they were about that price to buy.

I just updated the cost to £14k and quoted £302.

They're depreciated rather well for a Ford or any manufacturer for that matter just 35% over 3 years. A AA article i've just read claims a average of 60% over 3 years! My Used Cmax has depreciated more. With the finance deals on offer it's just as well buy new.

I got my renewal through today and shocked to see it go up by £335! Will certainly be checking comparison sites!

we had our Admiral multi car renewal through this week. up £84 on last year (no claims/convictions).

annoying thing is that doing an online quote as a new customer it drops by £60 even with a few bits added on.

there is no benefit for loyal customers, its ridiculous.

This is the most frustrating issue come renewal time. Ive managed to get mine down with a phone call last time too so it does help.

Funnily enough it was Admiral who bumped mine up £335!

ROFLMAO Nope not in this case...It is purely related to the vehicle and its safety features, I know a few fairly young drivers and they have relatively low insurance as well.

I missed this - and this is a prime reason why I hold insurance companies in the same esteem as bankers, lawyers and - increasingly common these days - large retailers.

However ... there is always an exception to the rule and while I appreciate it's nothing to do with car insurance, SEIB (South Essex Insurance Brokers) have been very fair with our horse insurance. Very, very fair. We have had a fair few claims over the last few years and the horse eventually had to be put down just before last Christmas. They asked us for a market value (before the last illness) and we gave one and they paid in full. We've since bought another horse and the insurance premium is very reasonable (and about the best value on the market), especially when one looks at our history, so we've continued with them. In time, I expect they'll get their money back from us. That's insurance for you. They have to make a profit but also to be fair at the same time. They've been loyal to us and we will be to them with our experience.

If only car insurance was the same.

Yer know you are not wrong! My new Civic Type R GT with all the safety features was half the price of my 4 year old Shogun? I could not work out why and the person at the insurance co said it was because of the way the newer cars were made (cheaper to repair) along with the safety features and the fact that the security systems in new cars means they are dead without fob....

Had little to do with my age...(y)
