Insurance gone higher

[Devilz]

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   

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 

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

yep, even for the oldies amongst us its gone up in the last 12 months.  mine was nearly over £200

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

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