Insurance renewal
Just had my 4 weeks notice of the automatic renewal/quote. Not changed car, address, usage, not had any [recent] accidents ie circumstances unchanged in past 5/6 or so years.
Not amended the policy in any way (which is fairly 'basic' comprehensive cover) and have 20 years NCB. it's previously been competitive despite increases which is why I've remained with the provider.....now gone up a whacking 75%! Overheads, (my bet is this service industry is one of those that is a sure thing 'work from home' candidate). Costs, well in our case even the slightest claim is a 95% cert. write-off so absolute tops £400 and Rover must be one of the shrinking vehicles populating our roads. Risk, perhaps due to my age, means the second party claim would be substantial (unless I hit another Rover!) and I do live in an area where high value car theft (in particular Land Rover) is well publicised but who would steal a 20 years old 75 (except for the cat!)
Where do they get these charges from?
