Car insurance

[Chrisja1000]

I lost my 9 years no claims yesterday,I thought my Mrs was in labour and ended up running into the back of 4x4!! Anyway my insurance has gone from £37 to £108 which is due to start next month of all the crap times!!

Has anyone got any ideas for decent companies etc, like an idiot I had didnt protect my no claims.

£37 a month to £108 a month?

Yeah mate as I just claimed for my prang. I was in the last few days of my current deal.

Jesus that's a bit steep!

I'm no expert but you shouldn't lose all your no claims for one incident.

Have a look on a comparison website like go compare, the only problem you may have is that you have a pending claim so you won't know the cost of the claim but have a look on go compare then ring up some of the companies that come up with the best prices, before doing this you need to find out off your current insurer how much no claims you have left.

Jesus Wept, it'll cost me near £400 a month to insure a simple 1.3 Mazda 2.

Hmmm, my mate has just had her renewal quote and its gone up £600 a year.
I have done some searches for her and its not a misprint, its really going to be steep.

Got me thinking so I did a quote too for me. Mother fucker has given me quotes, the cheapest of which is £30 a month more than i'm paying now!
I'm 34, no convictions, 12 plus years NCB, 17 years with a license, a drive way and an ordinary car.

What the fuck?!

Did you not take out the protected no claims? Usually a bit extra a year but probably worth it

Definitely worth it. I had a single car accident a couple of years back (swerved to avoid a dog) and wrote off my focus. Just got my renewal in the post for my Peugeot 308 and I have 8 years claim free driving, which has earned me a NCD of 63% (roughly two thirds). As it is I'll be paying nearly €400; would be triple that without the NCD!

I decided to fuck the car off last October, insurance, tax, petrol(was a Lexus is200) was just to much. Get the train now for a little less each month and a lot less stress, use the missus' car when need to.
