Happy 21st Birthday now heres your insurance premium

[e6m6a6]

The otherday i brought home 21 years and i assumed that my insurance would see the benefit of me being a year older, a year wiser and a year of owning my golf 150pd without sticking it on the wrong aide of hedge and congratulate me with a cheaper insurance quote...dont be daft

Now yes i am young and i do have rather a powerful car for my age so im not expecting major cheap insurance, last year i paid £1500 for my insurance so i rung up and asked for my renewal....£2000....come again?!

Thank you to all the people who:
1. Cant keep control of their vehicle in the snow
2. Find themself in a minor accident in which they recieve a stuff neck and fancy suing the *** off the offending party
3. The government, obviously. Recession blah blah

I do appolize if this topic has been brought up before but i felt the need to vent and to ask people if they have suffered at the same hand in which iv been delt

I always thought 25 was the magic age?

My office insurance has risen 25% to a few digits short of a 5 figure sum, my professional insurance is a very healthy 5 figure sum (up about 20%) and so on.

Insurance (all types) premiums have risen this year - you're not alone.

aye i think 25 is magic age now but youd think id at least get something for 3 years of good driving and no points plus having a powerful car for a year and not been daft init should say something!

Statistics ruin individuals, we're all in the same boat, im pretty sure most peoples premiums went up. Not much you can do about it unfortunately!

Turning 25 made a difference of about £50.

I find Confused.com really useful, every renewal I get is higher, so I go out and get the cheapest quote, and tell my current insurer to match it or get stuffed. Usually works and I don't have to faff about changing insurer.

Exactly what I've done for the last 5 years. They always magically manage to reduce their renewal quote by the £100 they added since last year, and match the cheapest online quote I've had.

yeah i rung my insurance to hopfuly get a cheaper quote by telling them what else i have recieved but they said 2k and admiral multi car gave me a quote of £800, some how i don think it will drop that much

[elvismiggell]

Yeah I did have an experience a bit like that with RAC when I would have been around 21. Sometimes you're left with no option to switch.

I suppose they have to look at their profit margin and change their rates depending on the year they as a company have had.

Still, their loss, not yours!

May I ask what insurance your with?
Adrian Flux are especially good for younger drivers.
I'm with Direct Line, and I was 23 with 3yrs n/c when I got a quote for our new Octavia vRS, with SWMBO as a named driver. It was £200 ontop of our Clio's insurance, so come renewal time it "should be" <quote by Direct Line> around £800... Thats with 6pts too...

atm im with kwik fit, not the greatest of companys but the cheapest i could find at the time, im not fussed about the fact that its high £1500 i dont think is bad for a 20yr old on the group 15 insurance car but its the fact that its shot up £500 through no fault of my own
