Happy thread

I wonder how many people will be reciting that mantra on their way to the show

Probably many. However, it's non negotiable for me at present.

Note the line that says "We've made some changes to your excesses"  They may be charging you all that money for you to self-insure.  Sorry, I should have spit out my cynic pill this morning...

Fair point.

However, I have accounts with the three main comparison sites, plus some select insurers. Each renewal I run through all of them.

Over the years I have discovered that having a "bigger excess to reduce your premium" is not the promise it sounds.
If I raise my voluntary excess to £500 it knocks, for example, £7 off my annual premium.

I only ever have zero voluntary excess.

I shall be doing the rounds of the sites shortly, I'll update progress in due course.

So, rarely feel the need to post in this thread, due to one thing or another.

Car insurance is due at the end of the month. Curses.

Got an email from my current supplier, "Renewal Invite". I thought, "here we go"...



Have I somehow stumbled into an alternative universe?

 

Same here. My car insurance has gone down for the second year running, also by £40. Wish it applied to pet insurance too..

Cheers,

Chris

This should perhaps be in the angry thread 

Here in the good old US of A, our insurance for 2 drivers and 3 cars (1 year old Audi S5, 10 year old Audi Q5, and a 27 year old pick up is $2000 FOR 6 MONTHS and we haven't had an accident of speeding ticket in more than 5 years.

That's £1000 per vehicle per year. 

And the 25 year old roof on our house is due to be replaced.

A 40 year old Land rover, and a Peugeot 107 insurance about £500 total, also since the landrover is 40years old  no road tax.. and the Peugeot is 0 rated for road tax...

Our house is 119 years old, it was retiled 45 years ago and will probably last another 40.

I don't say such things as, knowing my luck, I'll shuffle off this mortal coil tomorrow

So longer than half the new build cardboard houses they are putting up

I won £175 from Ernie this month, so to celebrate I decided to bring October up to target. Easy come, easy go
