Yeah im not looking forward to renewal in april

God knows how ill be able to afford it but im gonna have to find a way. At the moment my car insurance is only £700 but im on a multicar policy so thats for mine and my mums car together which isnt bad at all imo

 

[Ziggy122]

im going to paying more then that JUST for me

860 - which is an Increase in price
BUT i've got more miles declared and NCP
with £100 V.Excess + 250 Compulsary

So not too bad - gotta keep saving tho - need 2 new front tyres soon

how old are you lol?

I always wanted more power - but money speaks sense
So for me No extra power

5k - i'd die! I'd just get a banger - Leave it rusting on the drive - like Cheap as hell Bodge job insurance - and gain 1ncb that way!

To say mines a 14 and the HGT is 27 the price only rises 4-500 for a HGT for me thats on my own policy against the one im on now so not sure what it would be on the multicar that im on atm

 

[Tony123]

im 22 with 3 years no claims... lost 7months no claims because my last insurance wouldnt insure it -.-

Isn't this just them putting it on the new ABI scale (1-50) rather than the old scale (1-20)? So no real net increase...

Correct, I always used wisebuyer for ins. groups but their insurance group section of the website stopped working awhile back Just doesn't show anything up

 

[Ziggy122]

whats the ABI scale?
Is it just so cars be put into better catagories more suited?
So Small cars like the punto with less Safety features is going to be higher
Then a Another small car with lots of airbag and safety features
Along with the cars valves/performance etc?

[ChrisUK]

I guess so yeah. Will give you a more accurate picture of insurance costs.

*Fills car with padding Foam*
explain to insurance its a safety feature = cheap insurance

lol

im still dreading insurance time

[ChrisUK]

Yeah they seem to think that having 3 cold snowy winters in a row is an excuse to take the pi$$.

 

[Ziggy122]

Bring on the snow chains and going where no punto has gone before
These are the epic voyages of the Fiat Punto
Seeking out terrain that surly shouldnt be passable!

was funny tho watching RWD and some pickup 4wd's been stuck and all the small **** taken cars and just going along fine

[ChrisUK]

Aye I'll be one of those stuck with my BMW. Perfect excuse to work from home .
