Car Insurance Doubling due to address change

Sizlak1

I have recently moved house about a 5 minute drive from a nice area to less nice area and informed my car insurance company ingenie. They informed me they my policy would be cancelled in 7 days due to the underwriters not wanting to insure me at my new address. So i asked for a new quote and they quoted me £2300, my insurance is already £1200 and my car is only worth £500. I looked on a price comparison site and found insurance with Ingenie for £2100 for which i would have to pay a £470 deposit upfront. I havn't done anything yet because i am astonished at this situation and confused as to what i should do... any advice?

Dont think there is anything you can do apart from look at lowest priced quote and see whether you can afford it?

You can still cause tens of thousands of pounds of damage in a £500 car.

All you can do is shop around and see if you can get insurance that you can afford.

I found older cheap cars actually increase the premiums.

Over 10 years old and under £2000 seems to increase it. But that will vary between drivers/cars and postcodes. But one to check.
