. . .So I give them a call to discuss - and guess what . . .They are asking for 500 quid more than what I payed last time . .
Totally indignant, I ask why , and do they consider it reasonable to tax me 500 pounds extra over a crappy SP20, inspite of a trouble free year of motoring . .
The reply was that its not necessarily because of the SP20, but rather because the criteria for the risk assessment have changed . .
(what ever that means . .) . .
Right . . .Question . .
Is insurance not supposed to go down year on year, and is my insurance company trying to rip me off . . And
Can anyone, please recommend an insurance company so i could collect some quotes . .
MAny thanks . .

Yes, if your circumstances change, like say over 25, 30 etc, insurance will go down. But premiums still go up every year anyway.....inflation and all that..

BTW hers was £405

directline, 29 years old, clean license, 02 STI Prodrive on the drive in apparently bad part of Derby £699 fc inc ncb protected. Went up when i then added mods but they are very resonable in fact the STI is cheaper to insure than my T plate 200SX. Have to say I have never bee nable to say a bad word about directline except that they now charge admin costs for addres changes and other changes.

i thought it was a reasonable quote for the yearold. thing is il still be 20 when i renew because i took out there 10 month ncb accellorator thing as they were the only one to touch me so id be using them for a while. if i was 21 when i renew it would go down i think
