Have they decided to get out of motor insurance?

Most insurance co's are hiking renewal quotes quite dramatically,
they've always done it but not quite so obviously as recent years. I
suspect they are getting lumbered with paying out on policies that
banks took out against bad debt...
Don't forget you may well be getting a hefty "new cumstomer" discount
from other companies, so beware next year... and of course ensuring
you have similar (same) cover can be hard work, don't believe
marketing puff, read the policy.
Personally I've never found NFU competative for my DII.

In two years my premium has doubled for my 96 D1 to over £500
Broker says its because of my post code and the crash for cash fraud thats going
on
My Lads new Audi A6 ragtop is less than 1/2 with twice the mileage and business
use
Why because he lives on a farm in the sticks
Seeing the way some of the way the local maniacs ( farmers) drive I'm surprised
his is not double
They think that they own the road and no one else is on "their" country lane with
a blind bend every 1000 yards

1000 yards? That's a good long straight, just over half a mile. B-)

I was with Norwich Union for years but then they went up and I switched
to NFU who were cheaper esp for a 17 year old who had just passed his
test and wanted to drive a 2.25 litre "Rover" !!!!!

I know, NFU cover for my hybrid went up from £85 last year to a whopping
£114 this year!

It is a pity, I liked NFU, they were always good on the phone and fully

So who did you go with?
We're with NFU for the next six months, but one reason is that the Landy
gains us a really good discount on the other vehicle (people carrier).
I've had major company quotes of *almost* double the NFU one for the
Alhambra on its own. So I'm going to be looking around if the NFU are
getting really expensive, although I fully support the mutuality
aspect., and it will be a shame if we have to move.

Well my Defender is now 15 years old and I do less than 10,000 miles a
year ( a lot less, more like 5,000) so I shall see what 'classic
insurance' costs.
Anyone know?

Just renewed my 21 year old Discovery.
Cost me £165.55 with via Sureterm Direct for 4000 miles comprehensive.
Would have been a couple of pounds less for similar cover with Adrian
Flux but I liked the lower excess on windscreen with Sureterm, plus I've
been with them for a year and its marginally easier to renew than start
afresh.
No claims for donkey's years so max bonus.
Worth getting quotes from both.
Good luck

Thanks, it's not due for renewal until spring next year, maybe the NFU
will have got back to normal by then...

this year - from 580 last year, to 1365 this!!! A quick call to make
sure they hadn't confused me with someone who had been in many
accidents (only one in the last 3 years and that was a vandalism
related claim which resulted in a total loss).
Jamie at 4counties is now my bestest friend!!! fully comp, 22K
annual, business use £485 including legal cover and all the whatnots.
and thats on my 1996 disco.
Long tall ugly
They are obviously trying to get rid of us !
76% increase on mine !!!!! When quized reason given too much fraud in
the area by " profecional people " ( I live in a farming area ???)
So I went with John Lewis , has good reviews and Which! recomend.
Like for Like + Excess protection was (cheeper than original NFU.)
£346 (monthly payment) Fully comp + protected NC + protected excess
Legal protection+ hire car+£500 personal efects +£500 audio(£1000 if
original equip) only down side is a £20 charge if you change vehicle.

that was only TPFT!!!
I changed to another company, now got fully comp, all mod's declared
etc, and volunteer work, for about the same as I was paying for TPFT.
We will of course see what happens next year....
There has been a recent agreement, between the insurance "industry" and
HMGovernment. That, they will no longer charge for "commercial use", if
it is needed purely for volunteer work (Response working etc.)
Look at:-

(Goes to Volunteer England website, via link preview.)
But, it's only the ABI that have signed up for that, and not all
insurers are members of the ABI.

cover included, £200 excess) on my 1985 110 V8 with Heritage
http://www.heritage-quote.co.uk for £160.
Been with NFU for years - £201 last year, £406 this year! And that's after
they've taken £42 "mutual bonus" off, FFS! No changes at all in vehicle or
me, so why?
Adrian Flux was £225 and Lancaster £200.
Footman James was £125 - no mileage limit and £50 excess. Seemed too good to
be true, which put me off, but that's probably just me being stupid.
Bloke I spoke to at Heritage referred to the vehicle as a "Landy" and knew
what I was talking about when discussing modifications.
