Anyone noticed the price of insurance has gone up a fair bit over the past few months?
I have been running some quotes through on a few cars. Now i put through the same cars, at the same places only a few months ago. And none of my details have changed.
The prices are rediculous compared to only a few months back.

if anything mine have gone down? values of cars have gone down so theoreticaly the price of insurance should reflect that as in the event of a claim they dont have to cough up as much if the cars written off.

I got a quote for my fezza, £1400!
Thats more than what i paid the first year of driving on it at 17!
I put my dad as a secondary driver and it went down to £800 which for me at 18, and the cars value £9k, isnt too bad!
But yes, prices have gone through the roof as insurance companies know we cant go without!

I think the opposite, between me and Rach we insure 3 cars and they are coming right down in price.
Astra is only £575 quid, Corsa is £380, Fiesta £300.
