Insurance What a rip off
Just had my yearly renewal notice through today, £642.60p which i think is a rip off. i'm 23 been driveing 5 years with 5 year ncb, for my ZR 160.
Just done a search online and the ame company for the same policy want £526 so i phone them to see whats going on and low and behold all the operator says is thats the price and you have to pay £642. So now i've got the hump with them, i did a search with gocompare.com and the cheapest i find in £359 or £424 with protected no claims from more than.
Where do some of these companys get there figures from.

They all do it, was with Norwich Union until the renewal was found to be steep, shopped around and more than halved the premium, now with Admiral with all mods declared. Was £680 and now down to £308.
My 18 year old daughter had her first renewal through today, was expecting something stupid, was surprised, 1 year NDC TPFT for a Peugeot 106, £435, £200 cheaper than the first premium paid. Sometimes it makes no sense at all.

Mine is £1100 and a bit, and most companies won't touch me! I'm 25, 3yr NCB, 3PP and living in N.I.. AXA say i need to be 30 before they will even give me a quote...
