When I had my renewal through from admiral it had gone up £50.00, shopped around everywhere and all other places were at least £150.00 more than my renewal so I stayed with Admiral.

Shop around and just roll with it.

I will shop about if my renewal goes up, no way am I paying more for getting older and for accumulating yet another years NCB

Not had a renewal through yet from my insurance co., most quotes online have gone down over the ones I got 6 months ago, still in the + £50-£100 region though. Money Super Market is way cheaper than GoCompare !

Cheapest for the bus with Money Supermarket £650~
Cheapest for the bus with GoCompare £1000+ !!! :shocked:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Not got a renewal yet, but my online quotes are going down, suppose it's cos I'm getting older, also goes down when I hit certain barriers of when I've been driving.
Went down when I turned 20, then when I'd been driving 2 years then again when I'd been driving 2 years and 6 months  :smiley:

Woa, I could deal with £100 more! Under £500 is a dream for me, even under £1000 would be nice! :lipsrsealed:



My insurance is up for renewal on the 10th Jan, and it went up ~£700ish on my renewal! :huh: (Paid around £1055 or so last year)



Phoned them up to stop the automatic renewal and they went through the quote with me to try and get it lower, but it came out the same :rolleyes:

So I shall be going with the cheapest quote I found which is £1014 with £100 less Excess :smiley: (but still £600  :sick:)
