I stayed with the same car insurance for three years as the price was about the same as when I did price comparison, had had good service from them and it had some good extras. ,
This year, nothing changed except another years no claims, and they have tripled the price! Its almost £1500! I know that sometimes renewals get loaded as some people are just lazy and dont bother changing, and in fairness I might have done the same if the increase was roughly in line with inflation (although would have checked others just in case) , but that much is just ridiculous surely no one would go for it?!
I am 50, no claims or convictions, same car as last year so no change there, there is literally no reason why it would go up. I wondered if it was my age but I cant see that turning 50 should have that much of an impact and I have done price comparison and that is coming out roughly (well a little more) than last year, so if it is my age no other insurance companies are bothered! Obviously will be changing. But when I called they said that it was "industry standard" increase and were adamant that that was the only price they could quote. Got the impression when I said what prices I had had from comparison websites that they thought I was lying to try and get them to lower their price!
