Exactly, mine is HU17 so B on that list. I would guess at yours being higher.

I'm a D*. Which is odd as there literally no car crime where we are. The only thing I can think of is that with ours being a massive postcode it includes part of the A1. Wonder if that throws it.

This seems unlikely.

I don't buy that list...I moved from a D* postcode to an A-B postcode and my insurance went UP 30%!
Caporegime
Nope. Rural location with very little crime in general. Looking on the crime map in the last few years there's bit a bit of anti-social behaviour and trespass within 3 miles of me and that's it. As I say though the whole postcode is massive.
Over what timescale? Insurance is still seemingly rising in general.

B here and I'm in the middle of a town, doesn't seem to make all that much sense to me

In the same year (I moved house mid-way through the policy) and in subsequent years too. No other change in circumstances, only the house move

B on that list.. £1300 for M3, 34 y/o & 7 yrs no claims

Just to add, Go skippy are bonkers.. Last yr they insured me for £1350.. Everything fine.. Nothing changed in that year except I gained another year of no claims, The renewal from them = £6200

Same thing from elephant last year. Escalated it to senior management and nobody could explain the rise. Got insured for £350 elsewhere.

I had my M3 insured with Direct Line for £350 32 and 5 years NCD.
They seem to be really competitive for some reason.

i don’t even bother to call these except to check that auto renew isn’t enabled. Just get onto comparison websites and if I get something cheaper I just go with the cheaper company.
Soldato
On the contrary, I've never found "going direct and cutting out the middle man" is competitive at all! Direct Line just seem uninterested in insuring me or my wife (despite us both being mature drivers with good histories) and always come out a lot more expensive than other insurers for comparable cover.
Man of Honour
Direct Line have been the cheapest by far for the last 4 years for me. But this year, for whatever reason, they've just decided to go way up to around £520, which is about £120 more than last year. A quick look on Confused.com and CompareTheMarket quickly gave me quotes back down at around £390-£410 for the C43. Did call Direct Line up and they wouldn't even attempt to lower their renewal. Shame to leave them as they are good
I’m really tempted to replace my f10 530d with this.
