I've just received my Car Insurance renewal papers.
As you can see, my premium has jumped from £415 to £509. A total disgrace!
The less I drive, the more my premium rises. What on earth have I done to warrant this increase? I've made no claims, I've had no accidents, in fact I've been the perfect client. I pay them cash and they give nothing in return; nor have they since I first began to drive! They should be falling at my feet, and offering me free coverage for the next decade, in the knowledge that I'm one of the safest drivers in Europe.
As with Road Tax, there is no escape from Car Insurance other than to sell my car and become 100% pedestrian. For the moment I cannot exist without my car; especially in France, so I need to continue to pay these scoundrels whatever they demand.
Bah; humbug!

Threatening to cancel and go elsewhere sometimes works, I have also taken out exactly the same cover as a new customer and got a much more attractive price - loyalty doesn't pay for insurance customers!
I change companies most years. I am paying more than five years ago but not drastically more.
