If you don't mind my asking, how much does your *household* pay for car insurance in total (for all cars in total)? Feel free to round to the nearest £50.

Ok that makes me feel better instantly, so thanks. I think you're the first person I've ever had dialogue with whose car insurance is in the same sort of ballpark as ours (not a flash car either).One car, me and the wife insured - £950

Is it because we only have 1 car? Everyone else I speak to seems to spend about £300 a year.
Our insurance is less than yours but higher than the other responses. I think brand new it is worth about £36k, so half the value of yours.My car cost £74k so that's why it is so expensive, if yours isn't the same value then the insurance shouldn't be so high unless you have claims or convictions.
£74k, do you get a chauffeur with that?My car cost £74k so that's why it is so expensive, if yours isn't the same value then the insurance shouldn't be so high unless you have claims or convictions.
We do, but it still doesn't get it down to anywhere the levels on this thread. All the comparison sites suggest we are NOT getting ripped off. But I just don't get it.Whenever your renewal comes up always ring up and say it too expensive.
Works a treat.
Thanks but done all this, we'd be paying even more still if we didn't.Sort your renewal quotes four weeks before the start date. It will save you a fair chunk. Also see if there’s a different profession that would still apply to you and try that. For example, someone selecting call centre worker might be charged more than someone selecting office worker.
Do you put your driving licence number in when asked as this sometimes brings the cost down?We do, but it still doesn't get it down to anywhere the levels on this thread. All the comparison sites suggest we are NOT getting ripped off. But I just don't get it.
We do have business use on there but even if if I take it off purely to see the difference, it makes none! I dunno if we live in some kind of high car theft area but I really didn't think we did.
The wife needs business use on our car and we also have European cover. The car is not worth as much as yours.We do, but it still doesn't get it down to anywhere the levels on this thread. All the comparison sites suggest we are NOT getting ripped off. But I just don't get it.

yes, and it makes a bit of a difference but not hugeDo you put your driving licence number in when asked as this sometimes brings the cost down?
Also how old are you, don’t forget a lot on this board are silver surfers (really trying to be polite) so their premiums will be lower, us young uns (tongue very firmly in cheek) have tolerate high car insurance costsDo you put your driving licence number in when asked as this sometimes brings the cost down?
