The insurance for my BMW M3 has gone up from £1000 to £1400!!! This is without any claim being made and the value of my car going from £31,000 to £24,000.

They always make a big thing about not being on car insurance comparison sites this is probably because they are more expensive

I insured the Scooby with them for the first time last year £530. I was told that they would make it back this year with a higher premium but no. This year £440

Sainsbury's for my contents and home insurance was only £180. I couldn't quite work out how as all the other companies wanted £300+. For my car insurance I normally go between Lifesure and A-plan (imported Supra), the premium is probably more to do with my advancing years than anything else.
