Silly isn't it? I'm with Direct Line after Swinton doubled my premium to £690. When I phoned them I was really struggling to keep my comments polite. I've never had an accident, no blotches on my driving licence and it's parked on a private drive in a nice quiet middle class sort of neighbourhood. She's on a SORN now but still insured against theft, and that cost me £70! On the temporary motor the premium cam down very slightly too. How can an 2.5 Omega be cheaper to insure than a 2.0 75? Ridiculous.
Only trouble is, one of my brothers informed me to watch out for Direct Line ramping up the premium after 12 months as sometimes they'll take a wafer thin margin in order to get the customer and then creep it up year on year, hoping you don't notice. So come May I know I will be pulling my hair out again trying to get a decent quote.
And what will the V8 cost me when I get it?
