Has car insurance gone mad?
Gents,
I'm 34. Had a license for 16 yrs. 3 years no claims. No convictions and points etc. Live in a flat with a private gated car park. Last year I called Footman James for a quote on a manual saloon 850 T-5R (modified) which I was considering buying. I received a surprising quote of £220 per annum. Taking into account that I was paying £650 for my 1.6 Ford Focus I was happy with that. I didn't end up buying the T-5R in the end and purchased my present day 850R. However as it wasn't 20 yrs old (last year) I didn't qualify with Footman James. I called Footman on Friday as it's time for a renewal and my baby is 20 years old...and I got a quote for £450! What's happened in a year? Any other companies who I should try for sub £300 insurance? (Fully comp). Thanks. |

Yes, you will get more responses elsewhere.
I was with FJ for a long time with a classic car and a year ago the premium doubled. They wouldnt change it or explan so I switched to Peter James. FJ were bought by someone (AON?) a couple of years ago which may have something to do with it ! Joe |
