AA insurance renewal: 30% increase
#1
Went with Axxa thru' AA last year as Admiral had gone up from £800 to £1600. Got £950 or so from AA, after some arguing (the price they quoted on their web site wasn't the same as the one that came in the post -- they relented when I sent them a copy of the web page I had printed out).
Anyway, renewal time and despite no claims it has risen to £1303, an increase of a third! Details are:
Me: 28 (or I will be a day before the renewal date), 7 yrs NCB (protected, 25k miles pa, Class 1 business use, no convictions
Wife: 31, has her own car, no more than about 2k in my car, last claimed mid-1999 for running into the back of a (rusty) Peugeot -- must've been around 500 quid, SDP only, no convictions
Time to shop around -- elephant have already offered £1080 but they don't do monthly payments (although I could always pay on a credit card and pay it off monthly, but it never seems to happen like that...)

Similar situation - Eagle Star direct were the best for 2 years then, just had renewal through for £1581 !!! up from £1040 i.e. > 50%.
I am 27, full protected no claims, no claims in last year either.
I have had a rough quote from Hyperformance for around £950 though higher excess.
Will try ringing all the usual suspects soon though not having a tracker may rule out some of those doing good quotes for others.
I guess ES don't want my business now

Just got a quote from Tesco Direct for £934.50. They did originally quote £675.15 but when I got them to check that was for a GX whatever that is. Tracker isn't required.

My quote from Tesco was &480.90 (Axa Direct renewal = £980.00), but they said being a Turbo it HAD to have a Tracker or similar fitted (which the car has already). I was told that when I rang to take up the quote too and had to fax Tracker paperwork over to prove it.
