Re: Car Insurance
Renewed my taxi insurance last month. 11 years no claims, no points same car the incumbent insurer wanted £2,700 compared to £1,300 last year.
Changed insurer. Got it for £1,600.
It's just greed right across the board from the greedy capitalists from the price of Heinz beans to Lurpak.
Top beans tip. Buy Morrisons own brand and add some Heinz ketchup. A money saver.

Re: Car Insurance
A few reasons but the big ones being inflation coming down so parts, and to an extent, labor is cheaper.cockhat wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:38 pmWhy?Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 1:12 pm Premiums should start coming down in the next few months.
But also, it’s a super competitive market and the numbers of people shopping around at renewal is perhaps the highest it’s ever been. Premiums have to come down and some of the bigger players have already started which means everyone else will need to.
They probably aren’t going to be down as much as people would like, though

Sorry to be that guy, but inflation is not coming down (a common misunderstanding fueled by dumbed-down media reporting and misleading politicians).Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 6:10 pmA few reasons but the big ones being inflation coming down so parts, and to an extent, labor is cheaper.cockhat wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 5:38 pmWhy?Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 1:12 pm Premiums should start coming down in the next few months.

The rate of inflation has been reducing, but we are very much still in an inflationary period, with costs continuing to increase. I suspect that this will be reflected in the insurance market too.
