I have just got my Greenlight renewal. They have quoted £1295 as opposed to the £891 that it was last year.

27, MY99, ScoobySport Exhaust, 17", ITG panel filter. I cant believe it.

So far L+V have quoted me £1062

The Impreza must have had a bad year for it to go up so much!!

I'm trying loads of place..

paid £551 fc last year.. this year the cheapest I can find is nearly £800!!!

Oh, or £650 if I have a tracker fitted (another £300-400 ??)

Same car, worth less, no accidents, no points, 1 windscreen replacement.... so why the almost 50% increase ????????

Exactly the same here. I've got about 7 weeks to go before mine runs out. Im 25, 7yrs ncb, fully-comp, parked on drive with tracker, 1 non-fault claim and it was £1500 last year, the cheapest so far this year is £1850ish.

Insurance is a joke! :|

I tried them. They beat my renewal of £1295 by £11. They wouldnt beat my best quote, just the renewal.

And how old are you Tboner? I tried a quote last year (28 years old) and they said they wouldn't insure anyone under 30!

no, under

i think that was meant to read

classics = they'll insure under 30's

new age = must be over 30.

Greenlight wanted over £1600 from me this year (from £800-ish)! Something to do with the payout rates of their underwriter being >100% of premium takings. I went to Liverpool & Victoria instead.
