Falling Insurance Costs - Hugo {P}
Is it just me, or have others noticed this as well?

I received a quote a few days ago for renewal of £333.50 FC on my Xantia 2.0L 16v (quite a pricy one to insure). This was about £40 less than last year. Uninsured loss recovery service thrown in as is unlimited no claims protection.

OK I am now 35 as opposed to 34 last year, apart from that nothing else has changed.

My only speeding conviction was April 99, 45 in a 30 by a camera.

My most recent fault accident was November 2001 (well it wasn't my fault I got stiched due to a technicality and had to share blame).

I have had no incidents in 2002 at all. Is this their way of saying "Well Done Hugo!"?

I am with NIG through a local broker. I've stuck with them as their ULR service left me £2K better off as a result of that bump in Nov 2001). They were 2nd to none!

Hi Hugo- hope you're well! I got my renewal from more Th>n last week and it was cheaper than last years too :-)

My renewal with e-sure is less than last year and I'm almost in the same position as you - 34 now (33 last year) and Renault Laguna. Nice to see premiums falling when all the press comment seems to say that they are rising.

My car's insurance went up by about £40, IIRC, and my motorbike insurance has just risen by £10.

My car insurance rose too, I think by about £25-£30, before I changed cars and it had to rise again. And I'm only TPFT.

Mine's down by £200 this year, with a different insurer, from £837 to £636. (I haven't decided on whether to go for Liverpool Victoria or elephant.co.uk)

I actually want the bonus accelerator because I'm looking to change my car in 10 months' time anyway, so don't mind that it works out more per month.) In a year's time I'll be 25, in a much lower risk job, and earning more money.

My premium isn't due for just over a month though, so I'll probably wait until I know who my new flatmate will be and whether to include them on my car insurance before actually choosing one.
