Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Ben - 28-05-2015
Insurance quotes are going from £427 right up to £743 just for a change of postcode

That's outrageous! I knew it would go up but never thought it would be that noticeable
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Toms306 - 28-05-2015
Where are you moving to?
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - 1616six - 28-05-2015
Where have you moved to? What prefix? Bearing in mind NR where you would have been is one of the best in the UK.
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Iceman299 - 28-05-2015
Yeah i've had that just by changing a postcode to the next street lol
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - highwayman306 - 28-05-2015
Thats Walsall though hey, Ice
Mine went down when I moved out of Bloxwich 3 miles 
Thats shocking Ben! You moving to a nice area? :o
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Dum-Dum - 28-05-2015
Mine went down 10-20% when I moved out here. Really makes a difference.
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Ben - 28-05-2015
I'm moving from NR13 to NR1. Village of Acle to City of Norwich so I knew it would go up but can't believe its that much!
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Toms306 - 28-05-2015
City centre...not surprised at all then! Bad luck.
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - thododd - 28-05-2015

Not surprised its getting on for double?!
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Toms306 - 28-05-2015
Nope, be lucky if you've got any wheels left after a week.
But seriously, no not surprised its nearly double. Location plays a massive part in the risk and premium.
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Dum-Dum - 28-05-2015
I take it your also changing from driveway to on street or similar and possibly from living with parents to something else that might effect risk?
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Ben - 28-05-2015
Haha good job I've got a couple of sets. Looks like I'm going to get really angry about insurance prices every year from now then!

Both quotes are on driveway. Only other thing that's changed is 'living with parents' to 'own home'. But owning a home brings it down so that's not affecting it either. For example if I owned my parents home my quote is £416.
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Seb_Ryan - 28-05-2015
I live in the worst risk postcode
so mine will never get more lol
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Eeyore - 28-05-2015

RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - lolsteve - 29-05-2015

RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Niall - 29-05-2015
Mine would be shade over £300 a year if i moved to where i want to. Instead, i pay £500 a year
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - bashbarnard - 29-05-2015

Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like if you wanted to try an alternative insurer.

Cheers I'll give it a try but don't hold high hopes. I've been with you before with my modified 306 but you were no where near competitive for my mk5 golf.

Drastic is an understatement!
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - THE_Liam - 05-06-2015
I pay about £400 but on my mates postcode who lives in Malton in North Yorkshire it'd be £102...
RE: Postcode change - insurance rockets! - Ben - 05-06-2015
Turns out it was a good idea trying flux, they're good this year. I've paid 432 and can modify my car more now, and was told the quote for the new postcode was only 451! So we'll see if that's the case when I move in a few months!
