Ins just drives me nuts

I tried with Admiral to get three of our cars covered, well they wanted twice as much as I was already paying

How the hell did that work ? Alfa 156 with 9 years NCD, Focus oil burner with 10 years NCD , and a Merc Vito with 1 year NCD, they wanted near 1500 quid the robbing barstewards. All individually covered now for a total of £446

I have some points by the way

My other halfs T2 is up for renewal later this month, current insurer Sureterm are asking £296 that's FC with breakdown cover and legal cover, Saga who we used to be with are talking around £250, for the same cover will let you know how we get on, Rick

Hmm, the other half's Skoda had a handbrake fail last week and rolled out of her parents drive and damaged the opposite neighbours 2012 corsa, no real option but to claim so January could be painful!

Protected no claims bonus so I'll save even more as the base premium will probably sky rocket!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your protected NCD wont help much. What the insurance will now do is raise the level of cover you need to high risk. If you have had no accidents you will have been in the low risk category.
That's how they con us all. So expect it to go up a fair bit.

Aye, that's what I meant, I'll still get my NCD, but now it'll be x% off a much larger figure, so in that stereotyped woman's 'shopping in the sales' terms, I'll save so much more!

The hit on my pocket will still be much larger too.

Academy couldn't give me a competitive quote because Mak isn't modified enough!

Well, that's a first.

alot of specialist mod insurance companies are that way.

Some mods actually make it cheaper as they are seen as a safety device.
