Apologies if this is nothing new, but just though I'd post in an attempt to save folks' money. My car insurance renewal with More Than popped through the door the other day. As expected the premium had gone up a little and they had removed the 'free' breakdown cover. Monthly cost was to be ?50 and some pence. I played around online to see if it was time to change insurers and the best quote I got was from.......More Than! And to the tune of ?10 a month less (?124 overall) including breakdown cover. I've just phoned them to query this and been told (very honestly) that it is usually cheaper not to renew, but simply to start a new policy, which I have now done. And yes, all other cover was the same. So if others' renewals are due, its worth checking online with your existing insurer as well as other ones.

Ah man, I renewed my last month.


Another good tip I found was to try the sites that ask you what your lowest quote has been. Two years ago my best quote was ?850, I typed in ?750 and got a quote offer of ?749 and odd pence.


They also have a field for previous no claims bonus years - but I don't know if they take this into account when calculating the premium.

Best car insurance tip ?


Either dunmp the car and remove the cost entirely or downsize to a car that is a practical proposition for getting about, as opposed to a statement of how well you are doing / sophisticated you are how much of a big hit you are with the girlz


oh, and ratchet up your voluntary excess on the new policy

I'm really glad to hear that, I've just recently (last month)had my house and household contents insurance renewed by them and was really miffed to find that it had gone up by ?8 a month, is there anything I can do after the fact? I've never claimed in 15 years!
I have only just realised that it has gone up as have only just received the notice of payments, they didn't tell me it was going up just asked me if I wanted to renew it and then to do nothing and the payments would continue to be taken from my account as usual by Direct Debit

Is to run a classic car...Pre-1974 if you can, that way there is no road tax. Also, if you do limited miles, and if you're a commuting Londoner you're probably able to get away with maybe a 5000 mile policy, then you can get a classic insurance policy. For my three cars, (1959, 1974 & 1984) I paid ?160 fully comp last year.


Also, you'd be suprised at the availabilty of spares for some cars. Taking the MG B and the original mini for example, you can buy everything to build a car from new if you wish, and some people do!

Yeah, finding another insurance company can give you a lot less. Hitting on to affordable care insurance. This would not be the first time but it is where many people asking about renewing insurance or getting insurance, people are just who left it behind, doesn't understand or never had the chance the understand all about the policies and insurance company rules.

Could you translate this into English, please, kimquotes?

It doesn't make any sense at all to me.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
