Glanza V Insurance gone MAD?

I read that insurance has went up by 40% and set to raise another 20% due to the amount of non-insured drivers and "no win no fee" agencies.

as with everything in life, the people who do things right get fucked over.
always seems like you get the shit end of the stick if you follow the rules and do everything by the book these days :(

insurance is mental, im 17 not even been driving for a year, and just went as a named driver £32 a month on my glanza v :)

erm how exactly?.. yeah thought so..

also, insurance is yet to raise due to uninsured drivers?! :confused: god what a clever idea! people that drive uninsured cant afford it now hence drive uninsured in the 1st place! going up again is going to make that worse :/ argh! do these guys ever think about what they are doing?! pisses me right off! lol

its to do with all the winter weather... The 'pot' of money isnt big enough apparently.

Say you insure you car for £1000.....excess is say £200?

Now if you have a crash... Thats £800 down the pot, most people want what there car is worth....say a glanza....£2k!

Thats the insurance company indebted to you for essentually £1k

then the other party gets injured and gets £6k payout...thats the insurance company £7k down nice and easy.

The thing is where do they get their figures from how does that warrant a 60% increase in less than a year?

The other thing... Where do they stop? 100%? 200%? If they binned all of the smaller insurance companies
and had say 5 super insurance companys I think it could lower premiums and cover any shortfalls!

problem is, larger insurance companies dont like to insure higher risk cars like imports or modified cars.

thats why there will always be these smaller specialists

Think where you live has a lot to do with it too.
I've always been quite lucky with insurance prices, but I think that's generally down to me living in a quiet part of Wales.
When I had my starbo a couple of years ago. Was paying £305 fully comp with flux.
Only paying £650 for me and the mrs on my S15 Silvia now. Can't grumble.
