Insurance help, please.

Just had my renewal from LG, £548 gone up £35 from last year.
Phoned, NFU, £924
Live in North Norfolk, no claims for over 30 years, still got 12 points to spend.
Any tips, please.

I know some people get good prices from Howdens Thatcham branch, others not so much. Might be worth the 20 to 30 minutes giving them a call to see what sort of price they can get you. https://www.howdeninsurance.co.uk/thatcham https://www.youtube.com/@scottandalana4x4

Jules, that doesn't make any sense to me. Our quote is for 10,000 miles. I might give LV a buzz to find out why there is such a big difference.

LV told me to suck it up. Looks like I would pay £313 for an extra 4000 miles.

Looks like it’s a case of “LV taking the P” as far as I am concerned….!

We paid £863 last July with LV
Max protected NCD, Fully Comp, 12k miles, SDP, Retired, Rural Oxfordshire, Not garaged. Tow bar included.
Extras : EU B/down Cover £190 , 2 Drivers, Additional Personnal Injury £48, Legal Cover £40

It seems like they pick the figures out of thin air……will be doing price comparison for renewal June 25.
Been with LV for about 8 years…..they were reasonable, not so sure now…. FL2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto MY 2012— current
D2 TD5 HSE Man MY 1999 470kmls….gone 2014 ….lovely engine..chassis rotten
D1 300TDI Man MY 1996 56kmls….gone 1999…D2 much better
Wife’s FL1 1.8P MY 2001 32kmls …gone 2007…has Mini since.

Having just spoken to my Son, it appears we are paying, "OLD FARTS TAX", I'm 78 and Pam is76.
60 years of experience driving counts for nothing.
