loops Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 fookins my car insurance has virtually doubled. having said that i will be saving more in fuel and deffo time so not really steaming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebe03 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I feel your pain loops as my insurance is really expensive due to the high number of crash for cash claims in this postcode area. Insurance companies are too lazy to investigate fraudulent claims properly so instead punish everyone and then they have the nerve to say the don't make any money from insurance which must be BS. My only advice to you is to shop around for a better quote when your renewal is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 This year it was decided that men and women should pay the same amount of car insurance as it was sexist to discriminate against gender. Instead of lowering the premiums of men, they upped the premiums of women so it all balanced out even. I expect you know this anyway but I think this Is likely to account for a considerable amount of the discrepancy you've discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 luckily mine hasn't really changed so much - have you tried looking at price comparison websites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherrie-Nanook-Indy Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I got nearly £200 off my renewal premium this time. Not sure how but I did. Got me some nectar points as well. It pays to shop around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollys Dad Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Shop around, get other quotes then possibly try haggling with your current insurers - they might prefer to get some money from you rather than losing you to another company completely. Without haggling mine went down by about 40%! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 part of what you say is true ... but female premiums went up but not to the same level as males .... What actually happened was they put womens up and brought mens down. It depends on the insurance company etc and how many no claims you have and your age still though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innocenti Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 never heard of any mens premiums coming down .... but i will take your word for it .... will find out in june when mine is up for renewal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
