Ok heres one for you i was recently quoted 750 fully comp for my car insurance my missy being the main holder it went through her shes 44 full 15 years no claims protected me on as second driver 47 no convicions ect ,high price due to the area i live the insurance company would lead you to beleave it was beruit ,,,any way a friend of mine said find out the company your broker is insuring you with and try going to them direct well i found out it was aviva ,,,so i phoned for a quote guess what they quoted 2,000 pounds fully comp i couldnt stop laughing even the woman on the other end of the line was amazed as we are squeaky clean drivers with max no claims ,,any way i phoned aviva and asked why the ridiculous price and why i was insured though another company with them for over half the price thiere answer post code i laughed and said both qoutes are from you aviva to witch they replied each broker has a different rating on post codes what a rip off and a complete joke ,,they wanted my details to check i refused to give them for fear they would hike up my insurance on the other policy now that is rip off britain ,,any one else had this recent hike in prices with the lame excuses its about time insurance companies refused idiots insurance on a 3 claims and out and stop making us good drivers suffer wats your views guys

I use NFU. I pay £300 odd for fully comp.

i had a similar one. i was paying £342 fully comp then got my renewal at £782. when i phoned to ask why such a big hike, they told me it was becaue i'm now unemployed. what has that got to do with my driving ability. maybe they think i'm gonna take up illegal street racing to earn a living,........in a vectra.

anyway problem solved, my dad now owns the car and i'm a named driver and as i'm such a good son i pay his insurance,

these companies know they have you by the balls so can charge whatever they like.

I think there is an independant angency you can complain to if you feel that the company is ripping the michael, not certain who they are but i have seen advertised. i think it might have been watchdog

ive tried complaining to everybody ,,thing is there is no one that can actualy say they are robbing the public as joe public has no leverage in a closed insurance market,,,surely the proof i have 2 policy quotes by the same company one for 800 one for 2.000 must prove the fact they make thier own rules up ive just done the same on line with another well known insurer this time i did 3 online quotes with said company and each one was different ranging from 700 to 2.100 pound surely they shud be the same

did 3 online quotes with said company and each one was different ranging from 700 to 2.100 pound surely they should be the same.

Insurance companies ,do what they like .......unfortunatly you`ll never win ,and they have you over a barrel ,as you must have insurance .A very sad ,but unavoidable situation.

i changed from a S reg laguna 2.0 saloon, totally stock, to a N reg 2.0 vw sharan 7 seater with aftermarket 17" fox alloys, privacy glass & tow bar. because the sharan was considered modified & my insurance underwriter didn't cover modified, i had to cancel the premium, at a cost of £60 for early cancellation, then get a fresh policy started, even though the new policy was more than the previous, it still worked out cheaper than cancelling the policy & paying £180 cancelation fee & moving to another broker/insurer.

will definately sshop around more when renewal time is close & will talk to the companies, as they'll offer better prices (usually) than trying online, as you can give more information on the phone
