I know there is a similar thread below, but as my circumstances are a little different with regards to the quotes, and it is a different car, I thought it was worthwhile posting up my own thread..
I first looked into insurance around March this year.
£850-£870
I used moneysupermarket.
I did not end up buying the car I thought I would in March and am now seriously looking again, and intending to by this or next month.
So last night I decide to update my quotes, expecting an increase, as apparently the average quote is rising with 22p-44p pr day. None of my details have changed at all, so I was expecting to be quoted around £950 or so.
To my surprise- the best quote was £1280.
I have not changed anything in terms of details I supplied.
Is this the norm? Has anyone else seen such a massive increase?
I tried my current insurer Churchill hoping they would give me some discount as I have two cars with them- same price basically.
Also bear in mind that I have limited miles, social use only up to 4000 miles max, I have selected a huge voluntary excess which would effectively prevent me from claiming for anything but a write-off, and the car is not very high value. Garaged during day/night, my post code is an extremely low crime area.
How can the quote increase by £300 with the same car, same details?
If anyone has insured a cls amg this year and can recommend a company I would be very grateful as 1300 is quite steep, even for an AMG.
