just got my reminder for 17/01/08 I looked at it quickly, noted I now had 1 years ncb and the new premium was £262 ( last year was £213)wtf? 1 year ncb but pay higher premium, but then I saw they had changed the policy from "Full Comp" to 3rd party F&T.
I got on phone to them (Chaucer) and demanded my full comp policy, which they did, but the premium was correct, so you get a lower premium for 0 ncb and higher for x years ncb.
Something stinks:n:

I would love to pay anything under £500 for insurance........

My grandad is 77 with like a 20+ years no claims. His insurance went up £70 at his renewall with the same company (direct line). When he phoned them (well i did) they didnt seem to care and said it was due to 'inflation prices'. They could be right but to go up £70 when hes only paying like £200 neway. Got on the tinternet and got him a cheaper quote from another company.

People are just numbers to these companies as he was with direct line for 15 years in a row before leaving for someone else....

You'll find because you are getting older mate, you'll pay more. No offence like, but that's what it's like for my Grandad as you get older you become more of a risk just like use younger drivers.

He drives a Vauxhall Astra, he his 77 and last year he paid £260 but this year it was £280.

people with new companys get cheaper insurance as the insurance company are trying to win them over.

it allso works with more new customers they get prices stay up for existing customers... they take a gamble on new customers(cheap prices) and keep yours up to cover the risk!!!


way to test this is ring the insurance company up as a new customer see what the price is then.
what i heard any way
