No Claims discount query.

Car insurance renewal time again. I have been with my insurance company for many years and always haggled with them with some good results. Cut by £30 last year.

How long is "too long" for insurers to repair?
My husband was in a non-fault accident on 12/02.

Although he does have a hire van of a similar spec, it doesn't have things such as a roof rack (and he…

Insuring against pet damage to home
My wife and I want to get a dog, the only thing holding us back is making sure we are covered in the event of the dog damaging the floor in our rental property.

Car Insurance Increase - Age Related?
I just got my renewal through from Tesco, they want to put it up by a massive 30%. Nothing has changed, I've had no accidents, not to much as a new windscreen, same car, same address, same use. The only thing I can think of that might be the cause of such an horrendous increase is that I turn 50 NEXT February. Would they…
