Motorists in Northern Ireland have broken the £1,000 barrier and are paying more than ever.

Pound-for-pound, drivers in Northern Ireland have seen the greatest quarterly and annual increases in the cost of their car insurance than in any other area. Premiums increased by £116 this quarter equivalent to a hike of 12%. And year-on-year drivers saw their prices go up by £196 on average, a percentage rise of 23%. This has led to Northern Ireland breaking the £1,000 barrier for the first time, with premiums now reaching £1,059 ? the most expensive average premium ever paid by motorists in this region.

Shameful!

Or possibly the price we pay for dodgy claims?

Out of curiosity, what age are you and how much are you paying?

There's a limit. Just more of them.

And now it seems it doesn't actually exist.

Doesn't help that 'Claims Management' companies stick their arm in to extract the maximum possible cash out of any situation.

A bunch of parasites with the insured footing the costs in higher premiums.

Renewal quote came yesterday, it's actually a few quid cheaper than last year! £272, 1600cc Suzuki, same car and company (AXA) as last year.

Cant help but think that this "damning" report and shameful expose is little more than a glammed up advert - quote from the "expert" at the end of the view....

“As many as half of drivers can save £284 or more by shopping around at Confused.
com, so drivers wanting to make savings should take note of their renewal price and
take a few minutes to get a comparable quote online.”
