You mentioned your insurance costs -
"What hurts most though is the £400 VED renewal I've just received through the post to go with the £400 fully comp insurance renewal."

Where do you get your insurance from as all my quotes have been much more expensive?

Thanks

Hi, just noticed your post re insurance cost.

The £400 was for the 09-10 year of insurance with Direct Line but they wanted £530 for 10-11 with no change whatsoever in risk / details. Apparently 'all rates have gone up whether you have had a claim or not'.

I've moved my business to Tesco insurance who from memory wanted approx £420 which was the best I could get anywhere. When the documents arrived they looked identical to those previously issued by Direct Line ... same typeface, same layout, same everything really but a different contact address etc; wouldn't be surpised if Tesco is using its buying power to front a Direct Line product.
