Question:
when is an insurance company going to come along who cares about careful drivers?
2010-07-19 06:29:52 UTC
my car insurance quote has just arrived, the price has gone up by £80 from last year
the year before it went up £20.
I suppose it was the all the snow we had which caused extra claims.
but I have never made a claim in the last 15 years and that was when someone ran into me.
why should we keep having to pay for these mindless idiots who cause these increases,
why cannot insurance companies talk to each other and triple or quadruple persistent offenders
untill they have gone without a claim for 3 years instead of keep hiking up the insurance of careful drivers.
well this is the last straw for me.I am selling my car, a stripey punto 2 years old with 4,000 miles on the clock.
what should I get for it.

Mine went up by £200 last year because someone decided to pull on when they couldn't see and drove straight into the side of me.



It's not exactly fair considering I'd never had a claim before, and now the only one I had was a non fault one. Also I believe my insurance company dragged out the claim so that I wouldn't have my no claims bonus when my renewal was up- unless I went through them as they would be able to take it into consideration! Sly tactics that i didn't fall for.



I upped and went elsewhere.

Number one. Insurance companies are there to make a profit



Number Two: If you're daft enough to pay their increased premiums they will gladly let you.



Go to the comparison sites and do some research an hour or so spent checking can save you £100 or more which isn't a bad return for a hours work.



Once you've found the best price go back to your original company and tell them you're cancelling your policy and give them the price you've found.



They will either tell you they can't match it; in which case you go to the new company.

Or they will match or even beat the price in which case you stay with them.



As a rule I rarely stay with any company more than two years, the first they give you a good quote to catch you, the second they up it a little and by the third they're getting lazy and think they can charge you anything. Time for a change

That's the bad part of insurance. Good drivers have to pay the cost for bad drivers. If every one was bad drivers the insurance companies would go broke. It's not fair but that's the way it works.

repeat offenders are peanalised i brokered a policy at £4800 for a driver with 2 fault accidents recently also you have maximum no claims discount so your policy will only ever increase do you expect bread to go down at the supermarket ????? no it goes up with inflation also (not assuming) whan you reach the age of 50 your policy will go up year on year as you are statistically more likely to have an accident in the same way as it goes down at 25/35 as your risk drops



if your doing 2000 miles a year your actually paying extra as you class as an infrequent driver 5000 mile policys are usually cheaper



any way I find it hard to feel sympathy as the whole industry has recently increased it's prices new drivers are being charged an average of £3000 for a first policy and a driver i recently quoted for with 4 claims got a best price out of 75 insurers on the panel of £15,800 £1,800 more than her annual pay



the snow has increased premiums but if your looking to blame someone try gordon brown thanks to his fantastic scrappage scheme the value of cars of the road has increased massively meaning far more expensive claims for the insurers 1998 mondeo max £1000 write off scrapped for £2000 off a ford focus 2010 plate now the cost of the accident is £16500 as the policy holder gets a brand new car



I'm beating my head against a wall trying to justify this no one wants to pay for car insurance I certainly don't but if you look at the market the underwriters are actually making less profit



Anyway hope this at least explains the reason behind the increases enjoy your taxi's i'll wave as I drive past your bus stop

Mine up went up, I shopped around and I found one that was less than last year.



I have never stayed with the same company back-to-back.

that should particularly remember at this type of coverage you choose. youthful Drivers are an superior probability ,it particularly is understood. additionally the handle the extra youthful driving force is residing in. i might propose you to no longer think of the main inexpensive is the excellent . look for suggestion from The AA.
