Think the insurance companies took a hit with all the snow and ice over the winter, someone has to pay for it, and guess who.
Bet we all find the renewal figures will all be a lot more than last years.

Think insurance all gone up. My ex wife spoke to me today, moaning about her insurance on a 1400 Renault Megane was ?657. Thats more than my ZS at ?612.
I heard that the insurance tax had gone up, and will go up even more when the vat goes up.
Still wont stop me driving my ZS.........................will have to ebay a kidney!

My insurance on the derv went up come renewal; the reason from the insurance company was that it is a Rover and is impossible to get parts for - interesting point when I was only TPFT!
To put it in perspective the cheapest quote I got on the MG from a non-specialist insurance company was ?1090.
I'm now paying a whopping ?490 for fully comp on the GPS; which is mad considering it's nearly 4 years newer, worth four times the MG and is quite a bit more powerful!
Mums renewal on her 51 plate Rover 25 1.6 iXL Stepspeed was ?512 - she's just got a new policy on her 10 plate Smart ForTwo for ?165
Insurance companies just don't like MG's and Rovers any more!

Pick up the phone and talk to someone, you may be surprised and get a better deal. I did when I got the MGF insured.

most insurance is going up, due to the increase in people claiming for whiplash in accidents - those no win no fee claims cost a lot, and the lawyer fees have to be paid for by the inurance.....
and also due to un-insured drivers....
and them being thieving gits....
i expect mine to be well above the 575 it was last year.... but here is hoping! in 2 years time i will crack that 30 barrier so maybe it will drop again then....

Well if it makes you feel any better I just got a fresh quote from Greenlight as the last quote was back in July, it has gone up by ?140! So I am not a happy bunny, need to have another look for modified insurance. Wish I took it out then!
