    Having the same trouble mate, mines just arrived gone from £175 to £385. Looked on all the sites and they are £400 + apart from the AA £258, watching tv and the LV advert comes on, our customers are paying only £179 for H and C ( around 10% ) gives it a go, lowest price from them £711 <laugh><laugh>, there’s 2 of us, never made a claim<doh>

    I think we can all understand a reasonable rise because of rising costs, but it's getting to mugging levels now and to ask for a fee for having the audacity to ask them to accept our money is unbelievable. I've emailed Martin Lewis the money guy (although it says they can't reply to everyone).
    Sorted sister's verisure, hoping this company will ask for the customer service survey, if so I'll submit it with an invoice

    Mines due end of next month and I've sold me 2nd car.
    Was £154 last year and £170 for 2nd.
    Lad in work said his BMW went from £500 to £2000 and couldn't get it cheaper.
    Put it off the road and a few weeks later got it fer £400 <confused>:huh: ???

    There's a couple other lads said they were quoted astronomical prices then eventually got a decent price .

    Twisting leaves a straggler and a similar problem . . . . scissors are the only way, man :emoticon-0172-mooni

    Unless you're better at twisting than me, like most people on here seem to be <whistle>

    My latest one, AA, quote arrives only £258, I thought brilliant I’ll go with this, filled out last details, still £258, and then another question popped up, just to finish your quote what is the value of your house, puts that in. Your final quote is £711 <yikes>:headbang: same as LV,
    My theory is, insurance companies can double their prices but if less than 49% of customers leave ( to scared not to have insurance) they will still make more profit also will need half the staff, half the paper work and be no worse off.

    Mine was renewed beginning of the month, went up £150 with Ageas, been with them 3 years.
    Rang up to see if I could get it cheaper and the first line of the auto message was that they couldn't improve the price so no point asking.
    Went on all the sites and couldn't get anywhere close to their quote.

    I always get quotes as some take the pìss for renewal but esure have been cheapest last few years running.

    Worked with a lad from Liverpool and he insured his car from his nans house across the water in Wallasey.
    Said it was half price. <laugh>

    Little lad was laid to rest today.

    I think that's what's being doing me in.

    I hope my good friend will get through this.

    Stay strong mate, I can't begin to imagine what you're all going through.
    R.I.P. to the little one.

    Cracking bloke is Chris. Done a good job here, probably deserved more help at times too.
