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

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
