 Insurance Renewal..... - R.P.
My old company quoted me an eye watering 407 quid for renewing my insurance (AXA) - I took a quote from L&V and it came down to 321 pounds, this includes modified wheels (25mm wider than the standard spec running on upgraded M-Sport alloys) and no cost use of winter tyres between November and March. Good price from a company that seems to have good feed-back.

This price includes legal cover, protected no-claims and 180 days foreign use. Cheap insurance another reason to live up north !

 Insurance Renewal..... - Iffy
Mine's due next month, and I had the reminder email from Gocompare over the weekend.

MoreThan - who I'm with now - came up at £460.

There were a few cheaper, and esure at £375 caught my eye.

I will wait until I get the renewal offer direct from MoreThan, who claim to offer an extra 10 per cent discount to existing customers, which would bring it down to nearer £400.

The above quote is based on an honest proposal, declaring my job for business use, and my correct annual mileage of about 13,000.

I did get a quote direct from LV, which was £605.

My research shows two things, prices for similar products vary enormously, which I think we already knew.

But more interestingly, prices have not gone up - for me at least - from last year.

Nor me iffy - all postcode related insurances have come down by a little more than a smidgin. Must be perceived as a safer place. Two insurers I asked about winter tyres, interestingly described them as not being modifications which seems a sensible point of view. Interestingly Carole Nash viewed them as a common sense change in winter. I wouldn't like to be skating around on the 255mm wide tyres that currently adorn the X1.

I think it's called Cheshire style. Only really works with a fake off-roader on the drive.

Edit - A4s are so yesterday you know

Insurance groups 22-26 for the X1 depending on engine, etc. Not too bad - the Passat I'm getting is group 25! Whereas a FIAT Panda 1.2 Active is group 4.
