I moved all 3 cars over to LV two years ago on a multi-car arrangement - Mini Countryman (wife’s), Audi Q5, and the F-Type…..
Received an email yesterday advising of my renewal and an attached quote… increase of nearly 40%! No claims, reduced mileage…. I would have expected an inflationary increase but 40% - Criminal.
Will be shopping around this week…
Has anyone else seen significant increases in car insurance premiums?

Your lucky my wife insurance on a Fiesta 1.0 Vignale has gone up 88% with her current insurer and after looking at various comparison sites it’s the cheapest and the ridiculous thing is it only does about 1000 miles a year as we normally use my ftype.
We will just have to grin an bare it. Insurance companies are not user friendly and are only in business for profit.

That’s outrageous!!!!
I’ll still be spending half a day this week trawling through the comparison sites and speaking to LV to understand their rationale for these increase’s.

Having joined the F-Type club in April this year, I had a premium amendment to cover the last month before my policy renewed.
To my shock, upon renewal, the price for comparison of 2022 v 2023 with LV shot up from £590 to £796. No other changes to policy cover with a Cat A (low risk) postal code, full NCB, and me being another year older. I do have NCB protection, motor legal cover, and additional personal injury, so that accounts for a small chunk of the policy costs.
They did take 5% off that price when I phoned, so worth a call to discuss. Nothing else came close to being that low on comparison sites for equivalent cover (and don't make me laugh about Direct Line's quote - £1,900!!!)

Any comparisons with insurance are almost meaningless as there are so many variables. But, I went for esure direct recently, premium of around £200.

Rik, I will definitely be speaking to LV once I’ve got a feel for what other providers are offering - but will steer clear of Direct Line!!Rikochet wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 11:03 am Having joined the F-Type club in April this year, I had a premium amendment to cover the last month before my policy renewed.

Privilege wanted to increase my premium from £679 to £1099 and to be fair the car was damaged in a car park so I had made a claim non-fault claim. However, renewed with Tesco at £649 with a Clubcard discount too!
