WTF, car insurance renewal up by nearly £100

[Joe-2LT]

May I ask waht those 4 bad convictions were, i.e. did you have any serious accident or just driving convictions?

driving convictions from when I was 16 years old.

Surely the real bastards are the insurers themselves? Insurance is the highest profit making business in the world. EVAR.

You think that's bad do you? My insurance is 9k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Young age/4 bad convictions/2.0 Turbo Astra = Heavy heavy insurance prices!

If that is true I'd be selling the car. That said, if you have £9K per year to burn fair enough.

9k! I'd seriously invest in a top of the range bike.
You could pay a chauffeur to work part time on 9k, that is ridiculous, even more-so you're paying an insurance company!

Or you could get an old antique farm tractor, and use it on public roads and pay £50.00 per year fully comp, no kidding this was shown on TV recently as the only choice one young lad was left with. And you pay no raod tax either I beleive. The only snag is you can't use Motorways, and you also pay no congestion charges.

No I save most of my wages to go onto the insurance, pretty crap tbh. I tried insuring a 1.0 corsa 1999 model 3rd party fire & theft, cost the same as it did to insure the astra, no lies. I asked on the phone why, and he had no answer.

It's a complete p!ss take but its the cheapest i could find

Car insurance and young drivers: why one guy chose a tractor over his VW polo
