Been with Frizzells (now LV) for about 40 years and my premium was £160 fully comp, self and wife, guaranteed no claims and voluntary work covered. I didn't think this was bad.

It seems the norm nowadays that insurers give you a low quote to suck you in and then hike it up on renewal in the hope that you can't be ars*d to change. I must say that LV have not done this to me. John

NFU . they have real people answering the phone. actually sat in a regional office nor far from you if you want to go meet them.
they give 2 years GAP insurance on your car for free

And best of all If you have a claim they actually pay out


but even NFU has lost its friendly manner a little , If you do claim now its done through central claims hotline not through the local office. Although you can still phone the regional office for a little advice on how to 'word' your claim for best results

NFU = mutual bonus, they give a healthy (discount) bonus if they have a good year At work

Tried Moneysupermarket, NFU & LR Insurance best I can get £385- with LV
Anyone suggest other companies to try?
Many thanks

Well guys, here in Sweden, a Stockholm insurance costs me about 1400 - 2500 € per year... then again I don't need to contact them to check whether it's still valid for winter tyres... It's never too late to learn something new...

Aviva best for me again - second year now.

£244 for the Freelander, £190 for the Mazda MX5 on multi car policy. Price did not go up this year. Mine: Freelander 2 HSE, 08. Santorini Black/Alpaca Leather, privacy glass, side steps.

I have been with LV for the past 3 years, they were half the price of everyone else when I joined them, it has gone up by about £50 each year, mines about £680 now though!! I have included work use (not just going to and from work) which I am guessing bumps it up but essential when I am visiting sites three or four times a week.

Renewal is June and I will shop around but no doubt I will be sticking with LV as no-one has beaten them at previous renewals.

RE: NFU, policies a bit more expensive so have not used them personally.
From motor trade experience dealing with repairs for customers the claim process was second to none, local office approved estimate almost immediately and if large claim assessor was with you quickly and addressed any ongoing problems. The very opposite from some of the large well known ones. The worst when I was still working was the then Norwich Union. All FL2's (3) Gone

Awaiting the renewal from SAGA which was £237 last year. In the meantime More>Than have quoted £211 for my business.
