Got my renewal quote and its £420 when last years was only £320. This is with extra one year of NCD and car being one year old as well compared to last year (No points or anyting that that as well). I have done comparisons and they all comes around the same price, has insurance gone up for anyone renewing recently? or is it just me
This increase seems to be unusual, its not like the insurance policies are imported from overseas and weak pound is pushing up the prices..  Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

I did read recently that insurance costs were going up about 20 percent this year

I cant see it getting better anytime soon either Sport LE Lago Grey

My old insureer wanted well over £400 I've gone with AVIVA at £279..fully comp etc etc

Must be an age thing!

Mine was only £198 with Hastings Direct. Fully Comp. Protected NCB

I've also gone with Aviva who offered a competitive quote @ £270ish - Didn't realise they weren't listed on the comparison websites maybe worth a look as they're offering 2 months free.

My insurance last year was £365.00 for the lowest quote at renewal in June. After loosing my licence for 6 months for speeding and having to cancel my insurance I was dreding having to start up again. Renewed for same price but the insurance company I left was quoting £340.00 how does that work. Having said that my wifes insurance company refused to allow me back on her policy so that company will be changed at the renewal later this month.

why do you have to cancel insurance when banned, it not like you have to sell the car so you need to insure it for theft and the mrs to drive Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Had a look at AVIVA and its over £500, I guess postcode 'M' has lot to do with the price increases as Manchester comes up near top with car crime.
Gave a ring to LV and they reduced the renewal quote to £375 so going to go with it. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

Jammy gits, I'm 28, clean licence and my cheapest insurance this year was near £700 !

My "L" postcode doesn't help matters though, even though my area is lovely, they go off the 1st 3 digits, which is the same as a few bad areas that have the same 1st 3 digits in thier postcode.....

The price of Insurance is based on a number of factors - age-NCd-number of drivers-claims etc.However I have found my current insurer to be very competative in pricing and also in the top category for paying claims-customer experience etc. I have just renewed my comprehensive cover for my new 10 plate XS - Price £261 inc protected discount with no voluntary excess. The insurer - Co-op - go to their website and get a quote

Im currently paying £500 for my HSE, have the bodykit fitted which strangely makes it more expensive than a HST to insure. Most of the prices I got at the time were around the £800 mark, one even quoted £1,300

In the post today, renewal in April from Zurich - 282.

I think I can get this just below the 200 if I try, with another company. Madam wouldn't go for any other company last year!
