Same company no registered accidents no GPS module, car almost older than me.
They said inflation and every single kind of stupid excuses.

Last weekend I had my new quote from LV for the Mondeo, due mid January, it’s gone down £50 from last years big hike.
This morning I got my house insurance quote, from LV, gone up £75 to £318 for a little two bed bungalow.
I was going to simply renew with LV, but not now, this is really extracting the urine.

We fell out with LV many years ago after Mrs Robo's car was hit by an uninsured driver, assessor came out and couple of days later she got a letter with a cheque and notes about having it ready for collection. I told them to get stuffed, bought it back as a write off and fixed it for a couple of hundred quid. Never had any dealings with them since.Last weekend I had my new quote from LV for the Mondeo, due mid January, it’s gone down £50 from last years big hike.

Do you bother to negotiate with them? I pay £350 for a 3 bed semi with separate garage/ workshop all properly covered. I always get £30/40 off with some bargaining.Last weekend I had my new quote from LV for the Mondeo, due mid January, it’s gone down £50 from last years big hike.

LV are the only company I can find that don't put a limit on garage/workshop contents.

Yes. I let the Surf insurance run out in January as it was off the road for a month or two, then they tried to shaft me with an increase so it stayed off the road a bit longer and when I finally got round to insuring it the price had dropped on last year's premium
I found this to be true.

Car insurance is getting every year more expensive for me .
I'm really upset about because I've never registered an accident or damaged someone else than me.
My sister pays 200€ less than me with a more powerful car and having often accidents.
Same insurance company

Annoyingly I bought my car at the start of January, so both road tax and car insurance are due at this "special" time of year. Last year I switched from Direct Line to Sainsburys because DL wouldn't negotiate the price (they had done every year, prior to that, but it was just "no" last year). This year my renewal with Sainsburys is £7 more than last year, so I'm not even going to phone them up to argue about it in case it's a mistake.
Another thing to love about Spain. I've just paid €297 for a year on an Audi A6 Allroad. That's for any driver over 28. The strange bit is that none of the policies cover me to drive other cars, the policies are all car based, not driver based.
Darwin just suggested my premium might increase from £386 to £637. The 3 comparison sites came back with £340-360 for the exact same terms, excesses etc. Their company name is very apt! The other annoyance was having to ring up to cancel auto renew. Although they know they are stealing urine, they clearly know that enough mugs will auto renew to make it worthwhile.

You get the option to prevent auto renewal at inception generally.

Car based and driver based in Italy.
Essentially they analyze the person and Upon the vehicle they make the price.
Insurance cover the driver while driving the vehicle.
I have two car
I need two insurances.
I cannot drive my other car with the insurance of my Punto for example.
Same car different person different price
Insurance is related to the vehicle but the price is based upon the driver too
I don't think I've explained so we'll the thing
Makes sense to me
We just got 6 months tax for ours to spread tax / MOT.
