I had a car insurance renewal quote that had a 110% increase since last year. That’s more than doubled with no claims, accidents, or points.
I went to a comparison site and found one that was ‘only’ a 50% increase on last year. Insurance prices are ridiculous!
Same here, last years premium was £442, this year Hastings upped it to £992, they called it an insurance premium tax. This is on a 1.0 Ford Ka+. I used a comparison site and managed to get it to a little cheaper than last years quote.
When I called Hastings to make sure auto renewal didn’t go through they reckoned they could probably match last year’s quote, I refused and explained that I didn’t like they idea they were taking the piss so just cancel it.

Actually I did get last year’s quote wrong, last year I paid 583 which is considerably less than I said (my memory is going)
It went upto £998. Still seems excessive to me, I’m bang on 50, never claimed, never had an accident & have all my no claims.

No worries,
No optional extras.

They often want to reduce the coverage they offer to achieve this. They will try to reduce millage, the amount of listed drivers, increase excess etc. This gives you a quote that is not comparable to the insurance comparison websites.
