Postcode change - insurance rockets!
#1
Shocked 
Insurance quotes are going from £427 right up to £743 just for a change of postcode [Image: shocked.png] That's outrageous! I knew it would go up but never thought it would be that noticeable

Where have you moved to? What prefix? Bearing in mind NR where you would have been is one of the best in the UK.

Nope, be lucky if you've got any wheels left after a week. Wink

But seriously, no not surprised its nearly double. Location plays a massive part in the risk and premium.

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?

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.

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.

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!
