Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

The car insurance industry is fucked at the moment, add into that all the financial uncertainty they are increasing prices and reducing the amount they pay out on claims.

We’ve paid between £320 -£350 for a regular and classic car on admiral multicast for years now. I always manage to get the quote down by calling them. But this year was £600. They don’t even offer a classic car policy anymore.

last year £600ish

this year £1,600ish

I had something comparable, It wasn't as much of an increase as this but it was way beyond the usual 'bump it by £100 to see if he notices' thing they tried. I called Admiral and the best they'd do was decrease by £50.

Having been with them for eight years and never claimed, I moved insurers and the price became reasonable again, though still noticably more expensive than it was a couple of years ago.
Because I'm petty, I also moved my wife's car and my annual travel insurance. I'll also be moving our home and contents insurance when it comes for renewal in the New Year.

Nope, this is what it's like now.

It's basically to pay all the car hire companies who have got rich because the supply chain for parts to make repairs has been fucked.

enjoy!
