UK Car insurance craziness?

[tankski]

Hi folks,

My car insurance is up for renewal in just over a month and I’ve been getting some indicative quotes for my Emira and they’re frankly absurd: £5500/year. About 8 weeks ago I was getting quotes for purchasing the car and they were around £1200 for the same inputs.

Im aware a lot of this could be down to my circumstances but they haven’t changed for a while. Has anyone else found their premiums go up an unreasonably large amount? I’m wondering if this is Emira-specific or if it’s just me.

Stayed the same, £1000 give or take change

Have you tried Compare the Market? They usually get the best price when I search. I eventually got mine with Budget Insurance (the car hire people).

Maybe Huddersfield is just a bit too close to Bradford?

Far too close for most of us, there are parts where its difficult to get insurancebut thankfully I'm nowhere near them. I will be trying them, tried Go Compare first as they came up with the cheapest last year.

I will never use Adrian Flux again. It’s a long story, but they lied to me when I came to renew my insurance with them. I asked to go back and listen to the recording of the original call but they said they couldn’t do that and denied they’d said what they’d said.

At that price I won't be going with them.
