Car insurance renewal time

[vickster]

Mine's due in mid May and Aviva just sent the renewal, think was around £450 last year (but I've added a couple of extra named drivers along the way)...came through at £510...hmmmm... extra named drivers removed (no longer needed)...now £410.
Cheapest Meerkat quote with much higher voluntary excess (£350 vs £150) and standard courtesy car (I have enhanced as I don't drive manuals these days) is £462.

2022 Hyundai Kona EV 64kw in a pretty high risk area

So I'll be sticking with Aviva (I do get a 10% discount I believe as I have an old pension with them)

I swapped to Aviva for this year's tax - started yesterday. They were almost £300 cheaper than my auto-renewal from Tesco and just a bit less than Tesco charged me for last year. After several years of using the IAM's broker I am getting used to shopping around

The various insurers are steadily hitting older drivers by increasing renewals even though still a lot lower risk than younger drivers. Seems once you hit 70 plus the pool of companies offering insurance reduces and prices increase, get worse as you go on. A family friend who is 90 and extremely good driver with no accidents or claims etc and did approx 5k a year is almost un-insureable. He's actually considering hanging his licence up because of this.
