There was me thinking that insurance was going up at an alarming rate. Just did a quick check, usually pay about 450 per year for my 10 plate octy petrol vrs, 34 years old 10 years no claims.

New quote comes in at 235 quid-haha very happy!! Just to rub it in to all my 21 year old work mates who are paying a few grand for a car with an engine the size of a lawn mower! The joys of being ( in their eyes ) old!!

I know the feeling, but I dream of the day when insurance is around the £200 mark!

While still expensive compared to most, my 330d is coming in at around £550-£600 for the renewal. Not bad for a just turned 22 year old IMO!

That's not bad at all for a 330 with your age. I'd be pretty happy with that.

I turned 20 in January and got this years insurance on my mk2 Fabia vrs for £530 all in - was pretty pleased with that!

What is going on with these prices? Not that I'm complaining, when I started driving at the tender age of 19 mine was 900 quid.... On a y reg mk 1 fiesta 1.1 bag of crap held together with gaffer tape. Oh and that was 3rd party only!!

Postcode people, postcode.

I'm 32, clean license, no accidents, 6 yrs NCD, IAM. My 15k miles a year policy is around £500. Running the quote again at a friends address in a different part of the country almost halved this.

That's very reasonable. I paid about 200 quid this year for my very sensible Bravo

Deffo postcode have a play with that http://www.visitcars.co.uk/car-insurance/insurance-post-code-risk.html

For the first time ever this year my insurance was less than my road tax.

I've just renewed my insurance, i changed companies as well, the one i was with wanted to charge me more for my octavia vrs diesel than they did for my VXR8, i told them they were having a laugh and i wouldn't be staying with them.

Also said i would pay more for parking on my drive, than in the street, because the car thief knows where the car lives then

Blimey, that username is a blast from the past!

How's it going Carl?

My renewal this year is about £12 less than last year but had a quote on a compare site that is £150 less at £207, so I'll be switching.
