Car insurance rates - times are a con?

MIKE770

Having searched for Car Insurance quotes as renewal due soon, I find that the rates are excessive having driven for over 45 years the rates have always gone up every year, on this occassion I find the rates have increased again to a point that on one site I was quoted £200.00 + plus £100-200 excess plus voluntry excess £50.00 = say £400+ for a estimated payout if necessary of £300.00 estimate of value if car written off.

Any other people with 2nd hand cars come across this situation???:j

the value of your car within the insurance premium is very small beer.
your premium is there to cover a possible 5m quid payout to an accident victim.

your 300 quid mondeo is niether here nor there.
