I pay £300 for my uk300, an import was a bit more tho.
£250 is a bargain on any car these days!

Well, they just quoted me £1614 for my 330S.
Unmodified, full no claims, no accidents/convictions and no points.

To put that in perspective, I'm currently paying about £460

My renewal came the other day, £1300, 5 years no claims, I've just turned 30 with no points or previous convictions. I'm convinced it's a postcode lottery.

I worked for a motor insurer, its all postcodes and crime stats.

My postcode means I pay nearly £700 at 49, if I move to say Grimsby the bill goes down dramatically. What joy

The lower the postcode no the higher the risk as in built up areas the higher the. No is the opposite obliviously

Ive not had a sensible offer ever,insurance companies just make it up as they go along as far as im concerned,i was told that my quote had doubled because I live in an area where a high number of whiplash claims are being made, so do I have to pay for them?
