Not just car insurance but Home insurance doubling [shock]

Our pet insurance for the dog jumped massively as well, twice what I am currently paying for car insurance. I did phone them up and they gave me a 15% discount - why not the lower price in the first place??? yes, apathy.

Make sure if you are looking to change you read the t&c's through because sometimes cheapest isn't always best.
The breakdown cover we got with our car does not cover punctures/wheel changing or transport pets.
As an oap this may well be needed one day. So I am paying for my own breakdown cover over and above just in case I ever have a puncture, and the dog is in the car for most of the mileage we do so need her rescuing as well.
Got you over a barrel, they know we all need it legally so can charge what they like.

Interesting pooohbear2811 - at one point the AA said they would only bring 5 people home or wherever and we had a 8 seater Peugeot (and 5 children)...

So their promise to "get you home" or to your destination was a bit ridiculous.

Just had a letter for building insurance and it’s Double last year’s premium. No claim amd nothing has changed,
Needless to say I have another job to add to my list chasing up all sorts of things.

I received a car insurance quote this week and couldn't believe the price. We have a very old car (2009) a Clio which I use, the cost last year was just over £350 this year it is £595. The agent said cost had raised 50 - 80% this year. I suspect the cost is more than the car is worth.
