Yes I will have a google around shortly. I do think they have just closed their eyes and clicked the button and doubled it as it is within a few pence of the last amount.

Hey ho! confused

Phone up and complain ( negotiate a better deal ) often works
General advice is shop around
Massive rise in husbands car insurance ( he presumed it was his age ) new quote only slightly above last years

My car insurance and also my home/contents insurance have both gone up, the car insurance quite considerably. I have both with the same company and they sent a covering information sheet re the car to say that the cost of repairs and parts has shot up so they have had to increase premiums to cover that risk.

I went onto the comparison websites but the quotes were all much the same so I have decided to stick with them and bite the bullet.

Just received my new Home insurance quote and it has doubled.! good job I was sat down, yes I suppose with all the storms and damage we have to expect. Mine is just a basic cover nothing extra no add ons.

But I have never made a claim ever. I think it is time Insurance companies (they may be one I haven't looked yet ,that do recognise people that have not made a claim)

Swinton by the way.
