The best offer to insure a ?400 fiesta was a premium of ?1000!


Are they absolutely insane?


I'm 29, clean as a whistle, 5 years of driving, 5 years NCB doing roughly 4 thousand annual mileage (social only).


The only change I've had to my policy was a move from SE9 (Chistlehurst/Elmstead Woods) to SE15.


My car is literally a little runaround that has a value that doubles with a full tank of petrol inside.


Has anyone else seen an increase like this?

Have you tried it with full insurance quote, not third party, fire and theft. For some bizarre reason it's usually cheaper to do the former.


If you can add a named driver over 25 (a friend will do) it can bring the price down.


Also, go for as high an excess as you can afford (eg, 500/1000).

Hi, yeah these quotes were fully comp. it seems, like you've said anything 3rd party just increases it further.


It is the post code that's making all the difference. Out of curiosity I tried my previous address then low and behold, it's around the ?400 mark.


I should have known that living in Peckham has a detrimental impact on the cost of owning a car.

Yep, moving from Beckenham to SE15 a few years ago made my car insurance jump by about that.... Strangely enough - last year it actually came down? Try a lot of price comparison sites (they are a major pain, but you can save a lot compared to renewal offers). Good Luck! mx

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
