    Why do insurance company's try it on every year ? Just got my renewal quote and it's gone up from around 500 to £1745 ,I've not moved,had a claim ,or changed anything about it :evil: surely they know we will go elsewhere and won't just except it. It drives me mad got to sit down for hours now getting quotes :roll:

    I've just insured mine with a company called 1st central, I found them on go compare and were cheaper by £300 than anyone else, although I didn't find out about A- plan that a lot of people mention on here till I joined lads so it could be worth trying them?

    So true & so frustrating, just don't understand their logic or lack of it myself

    reason i got rid of my last sti was a £1200 renewal cost at the min

    pay just over £300 for my type r civic

    at 41 i refuse to pay soo much on insurance.

    come on then - who pays the highest insurance, i don't understand young lads paying around £4k a year :shock:

    In my twenties, living in the Preston area. Car kept well out of sight. Clean record, driving since I was 17 and never made a claim. I changed car just as I was due to renew my insurance.

    My Blob STi was going to see a twofold increase on the previous year but upgrading to the new motor brought it down a couple of hundred quid.

    So I phoned them up, asked what the bloody hell was going on and they brought it down to three figures. Voiced my utter disappointment that I had to speak to them in person to do this.

    In my line of work I quote people the best price for any option we discuss. I find it a little disturbing in this economic climate that other industries do not practice this as standard.
