My quote doubled moving form Wales...hopefully get to drive my E430 again!It's all down to your postcode. Sorry to say but short of moving, you'll have to suck it up if you want a high performance car.
Have you got a quote from brokers such as A Plan and Adrian Flux? One of those may be able to make it less painful.
To make things hurt even more, I've just used Compare the Market to get a quote for a 2018 E63S valued at £54500.
The premium is £588 and I'm past retirement age. Adding 10 years to the quote made no difference either.
This is a Bournemouth postcode and it is making the difference between my quote and yours.
I had something similar. I got my quote 32 days before it was due to expire, so I entered the date 2 days before it was due so as to get within the 30 days they asked for.My 83 year ole Mum had a renewal from Hastings Direct. £1,155 (last year’s premium was £580)
I did the 3 main comparison sites. RAC came good (via Confused.com) with £495 like for like cover. Start date 14th October.
I phoned mum with the results, she was made up but pointed out that her existing policy expires on 16th October. I changed the start date to 17th and the RAC quote jumped up by £24 to £519
Still a great saving but why the hell does changing the start date on a quote alter the premium???
I thought about opting for the earlier start date to save mum the £24 but wasn’t sure how serious of the legal side regarding overlapping policies (Hastings/RAC).but I renewed 2 days early for a £30 reduction in premium.
More insurance nonsense.
Renewal due 19th October and paid £379.46 to SAGA last year including a change from the Saab 9-5 to the CLK back in May. Circumstances, drivers etc have not changed at all.
Renewal from SAGA £577.73
Quotes from all the usual suspects (LV, Admiral, Direct Line etc) all in the £600+ area.
Quote from Aviva £394
Tried Money Saving Expert. Quote from Aviva Zero £277 with £0 excesses.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
I don't think there are any reasons why you can't have more than one policy running at the same time. What you can't do is claim on more than one for an incident.I thought about opting for the earlier start date to save mum the £24 but wasn’t sure how serious of the legal side regarding overlapping policies (Hastings/RAC).
Yes mum could have cancelled her existing policy 2 days early but thought of the hassle of her phoning up and doing so.
Anyhow, she still saved a chuck of money. I just thought it was odd.
A very quick google indicated that it wasn’t idealI don't think there are any reasons why you can't have more than one policy running at the same time. What you can't do is claim on more than one for an incident.
Not ideal because it means paying for two policies when you can only claim on one. But it’s better than leaving a gap between policies and not having cover for a while.A very quick google indicated that it wasn’t ideal
