Has your insurance gone up?
Discussion
The renewal quote on my Boxster was £353 up from £266 the previous year.
I tried to get a cheaper quote but the nearest was over £400 so I thought I'd let the policy auto renew whilst I was away. When I got home I wondered why the money hadn't been taken only to find to 'auto renew' you had to go onto the website and press the button! When I tried to get the price I was told I had to resubmit a quote which came out at nearly £500. Quotemehappy I was not.
I then went back to comparison sites and eventually got it for £483. I tried Adrian Flux given they don't use comparsion sites. That came out at £1,480. And they had the balls to ring me back the next day to see if they could get me a better price. What like knock off a grand

I actually had a nice surprise; mike has gone down for my Z4.
It’s probably the first time that I’ve not gone with the cheapest option but then best reviewed one and added a few extras and it’s still almost half of my renewal.
I’ve just paid £328 for fully comp insurance with protected NCB. I’ll get £38 cash back, so £290 all in. I’ll take that although I’m in the daft situation that my insurance is quite a bit less than the VED.

Just had my Admiral Multicar renewal quote in:
For three cars it's gone up 78% overall from £1,287 to £2,295, they've also increased the compulsory excess on each by ~50%.
Absolute piss take. Time to shop around.
Admiral multi car is a total bait and switch scam where they tease you in with a cheap quote then ramp it up the next year. For three cars it's gone up 78% overall from £1,287 to £2,295, they've also increased the compulsory excess on each by ~50%.
Absolute piss take. Time to shop around.
The annoying thing is then you are stuck with re-quoting all the cars with other insurers around the same date, making it even less convenient.

Given my nephews experience with Admiral I'd avoid them like the plague!
Totally baffled by coop car insurance. They seem to have have several totally independent 'wings'.
Coop Renewal was up 10% since last year. Logged in and got a quote for a new policy with them rather than a renewal - price jumped another 20%.
Went on the meerkat, identical details. Guess who's cheapest, at 20% below the renewal figure... Coop 'ecoinsurance', also with lower excess figures.
