Car insurance increase

Hi all,

My Car Insurance is up from £400 to £465 this year i.e 16% or so - 15 year old car, late 50s driver, SDP, full NCD, low mileage, fully comp including legal and replacement car extension.

Seem reasonable these days or could I be looking around?

Thanks!
S

    Standard MSE advice is never simply renew


    You should be looking round!

    Mine went down this year. I was expecting it to rise a bit but a nice surprise when it reduced.

    I use a car club broker who contacted me to say they were switching me this year as the previous insurer had increased the prices considerably.
    But i got quots of less than the renewal and they called me back to say they could match it.

    Get quotes on a newer car, its often cheaper.
