Hate doing that in the title - should read insurance, cue endurance jokes....

Got my annual renewal quote today from Tesco's.

£715 - last year it was £370.
(1.3, 2001 Ford Fiesta 5 years' no claims)

It reminded me of a fella on the radio saying his had doubled.

Is this a generally for all car insurances this year?

Can't see how they can justify doubling it.

This is probably a silly question but did you have any claims in the last year?

robbing gits, they probably bring you in with cheap premiums, then hike it up after a year in the hope you don't realise/care and just pay it.

i've just bought a new car, and the dealership said ring this number - norwich union will sort you out with 7 days free cover so you can drive away on the day without farting about setting up your own insurance. so i rung them and they also quoted me for the year - £800  :laugh:  more than are charging me £360 

i actually lol'd at the poor indian bloke on the phone :D
b*ll*c*ks and s*i*e

Can't see how they can justify doubling it.

check the documentation. Has your no-claim bonus been added to the calculation?

Not sure about in the UK, but they should list the discount. It should also increase each year. 5%, 10%, 20% etc. after five years it should be quite a big discount.

sounds like it's has not been added. cheeky buggers did that to me over here once, and I nearly paid until our accountant at work saw it.
