So I got my renewal quote through from Allianz for the Mazda – £829 fully comp. Last year's premium was £418.

 

I just phoned them up and they say they've reviewed their policy pricing structure. WTF? Reviewed it to the tune of a 100% increase? Really?

 

The only change to my circumstances is the expiry of an SP30 from 2010.

 

Has anyone else's insurance doubled in the last year?

Hi, please give us a call for a quote and check out the article we posted earlier this week - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/385220-how-to-get-a-great-car-insurance-deal-in-2016/?p=4508476

Nope, just change. They don't want you as a customer anymore.

It's just bizarre though. A quick comparison search brings up Admiral at £447, and a few others in that area.

 

Why would Allianz knock me back when it's such a safe £400 for them? Has the SP30 expiry made any difference? Maybe they think I'm going to be more reckless now?

 

Confounding :no:

Thing is, there's no 'safe' premium. It's a risk everytime. They have restructured their business model in a way they believe will make them the most money. You no longer fit in it, unless you pay a higher price.

I personally wouldn't worry too much about it, move to a company which is cheaper, it'll take about 10 minutes of your time
