Insurance

[MarkE70]

Quick one to see how people are getting on with their insurance premiums this year? Safe to say mine's gone up but not as much as i was expecting thankfully. I'm with Tesco and they have been pretty good.

20% increase this year

Shopped around as usual- small increase on mine

Mine is now £1300 (was £640) two years ago.

12 years+ NCB, license over 22 years etc. The insurance market losses of the last two years are playing out!

£1900 is the cheapest I can find, strangely enough from Audi Insurance. On street parking overnight in a London postcode certainly doesn't help, even with a ghost and S7 tracker.

Managed to get mine with Tesco's at only a £100 increase. So pretty happy with that!

Bugger - Tesco wont touch my C8 RS6 Vorsprung based on value.

Just had my Tesco renewal come through (due Dec) and it’s almost doubled from 650 to 1200 , shopping around and others are showing 1500+

I've added the wife to my policy which helped bring the premium down! Not that she's allowed to drive it

Shocked to get my renewal through last week- £650 to £1175 !! having not claimed on any policy for over 15 years I maxed out my voluntary excess to get it for £900 but still not happy
Like Revilo above, shopped around and found others were even more!!! Did manage to get an offer on a comparison site for less from Saga only to then find they refused it at the point of purchase. What's driving this huge increase this year?

When I first bought the car 5 years ago (C7 PE) I think I was paying £650 per year (with 15+ years protected NCB) Currently paying just over £1000 but have had to Shop around each year to keep the premiums sensible. What's more frustrating is that I wanted to swap up to a 1-2 year old C8 Vorsprung but its effectively become uninsurable, cheapest quote I've had so far through two of the bigger comparison sites is £2500+ - and thats with noddy brands I've never heard of before. For reference, have also looked at a couple of M3 touring, and even though the purchase price is slightly higher than the C8's I've been interested in insurance quotes have been far more reasonable with a good spread in the range of £700-900.
