Insurance Prices!

webmonkeyuk · 12 Jul 2010 at 17:56

Cant belive the prices some of these companys want to charage, been looking round for a 30yr male with a slow astra diesel with 7 years ncd and the cheapest ive found is churchhill at £297. seems to have gone up by about £60 from lastyear! some of the prices those stupid search/compare came up with were amazing, they went from £310-£70 and over!

these prices seem to be getting rather silly now. im glad im not just starting to drive as these young kids must be finding it very hard

Cool, another "insurance is getting more expensive" thread - just in case we forgot.

Insurance price is what?

Hatter The Mad · 12 Jul 2010 at 18:04

£297 isn't too bad. Your Astra might be slow, but it must be driven by high risk drivers and/or you live in a high risk area.

Is the area you live on fire 90% of the time?

Quite possibly.

iaind · 12 Jul 2010 at 20:03

£182 lol

My last insurance payment was £500 on a 1.4 mk3 astra. It covers 10 months, not 12.

Well I've never heard of Stockton on Tees, so I doubt it's a particularly wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Just payed £834 2 yr NCB on an 07 fez zetec-s tdci. £300 would be nice.

23 old here. 1.4 Golf Mark 4. Driving for 6 years, 5 years NCB - £397 with Tesco. Not bad considering it was £1450 when I got the car :eek:

insurance prices are a bit silly at times...i got a quote for a diesal bm fully comp for a grand, so just to see the difference i changed it to 3rd party fire and theft and the cheapest i could get is 1350.

Probably because people who insure TPFT are more of a liability, not sure why people struggle with the concept of risk so much. And insurance on a premium car for someone who calls it a 'diesal bm' is likely to be expensive anyway
