Just got a renewal quote for health insurance for our cats. Each costs as much as my gti insurance and they don't drive. 😾

It seems insurance prices may have calmed down a little?

Despite a higher renewal price from my insurer of the last 3 years, i found a reputable insurance company on a comparison site to insure my Ed40 for £201 with protected Ncb, they were not the cheapest either. Car insurance is now less than the road tax!

Good news. My insurance has gone up £100 a year over the last three years, hope it doesn't this time. I retired last year but a couple of days after renewal. So I called them to change my details and to remove the commuting part of my cover and they kept the cover at the same cost! I bet if I called to restore commuting cover they would increase my premium. Thieving gits....

Last year my premium was just under £300 through Hastings, this year for the renewal they wanted £600!!!

Yet on the comparison sites I had 3 or 4 offers about the £250 mark! So when I called Hastings to cancel the renewal they suddenly told me that their best price was now £260!!! On principle I told them to stuff it, if they can quote me £260 after hearing that other companies will do the same then why couldn’t they offer that as the renewal initially, thieving bar steward chancers! 😡😡

Exact same situation with Hastings on my son’s car a few weeks ago, I also declined on principle.
