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

    • 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 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
