Title: Insurance gone higher
Post by: Devilz on 16 March 2011, 22:25

As per topic, I previously had W reg 1.8T GTi and I was paying about £67 per month. Now car is sold and I bought VW Passat 1.9 TDi (02 plate) and I was expecting insurance to go down but its gone up by another £26 and now I'll be paying £74.51 per month   :lipsrsealed:

I thought insurance on diesel cars will be less than hot hatches.
( my insurance is due for renewal in second week of july, 11 )

need advise, thanks

Premiums in general have gone up due to silly claims, uninsured drivers etc etc

That's why you got to shop around and never accept your renewal  :wink:

My renewal just came through and it was over £600, up from £485 last year

Bit of haggling brought it back down to £497 with the same company.  No on else came even close!!  next cheapest was over £1000  :laugh: :laugh:

thanks for replying rhyso, as mentioned insurance is due for renewal in july so i'll definitely shop around when renewing. Only concern was insurance going high instead of coming down   :lipsrsealed:

All insurance groups changed recently too so that might play some part in the insurance going up  :angry:
