Yup, happened to me too. B’stards. I rang (wasted several hours of my life doing so) and asked why Since nothing had changed, no more points etc etc. and they said that’s what it is pal - heff you B’stards.Seems to have gone bonkers. My renewal quote is nearly 100% more than last year and shopping around doesn’t bring it down by much.
Because most people just tut at the letter and let it renew at the new priceJust done mine, The renewal quote as always was stupid ( why do they do that? ) so did my shopping around in plenty of time as per all the advice, but couldn't find anything for less than 100% increase. Fairly standard no frills cover. Certainly put a dent in my finances.
Going to be a lot more cars running around not insured.
Speak to your insurer.
Our quote was 283 last year. Insurance in the industry has gone up 43% on average so expecting a rise to £403
Original quote we received for a renewal was £466 so an inc of 64.66%. Couldn't get anything cheaper on a price search
New quote we received after speaking to them was £375.52 so an increase of 32.69%, not thrilling but beating the industry average
Cheapest isn't always best .Seems to have gone bonkers. My renewal quote is nearly 100% more than last year and shopping around doesn’t bring it down by much.
Cheapest of the lot for me this yearCheapest isn't always best .
I'm with Aviva , not cheap but customer service is superb .
Renewed in April , got a letter this week , out of the blue apologising for overcharging me and a cheque for £ 77 enclosed .
Highly recommend .

Yep seems so hiding behind “inflation”. Last I checked inflation wasn’t running at 50% +Ours jumped from about £400 to £650, price comparison sites saved a few quid, nothing spectacular. Do under 8k year, no incidents in the past year, 20+ years NCD, clean driving record
It certainly looks like the insurance industry is run as a cartel. Robbing b*stards.
Ours jumped by a similar percentage. I wish I could work out why ours costs a grand though compared to £650 for you, in similar area. No recent accidents or anything. Car isn’t crazy expensive. It is a hybrid but didn’t think that would affect it much. But yeah ours went up a good 30% this year and shopping around didn’t achieve much.Ours jumped from about £400 to £650, price comparison sites saved a few quid, nothing spectacular.

Yeah, assume the postcode covers all. There was a horrendous spate of cars getting nicked 3?4? years ago but all seems to have quietened down.Ours jumped by a similar percentage.

Daughters insurance jumped £200 just because her occupation changed from full time student to working. How on earth does that work? Same car, same mileage, extra years NCD......
It's a cartel, surprised they haven't used the war in Ukraine or the rising cost of grain to explain their enormous price hike.
