Astronomic rise in car Insurance.
Watch this postI am frothing at the mouth this morning, and it is due to the astronomic rise in car insurance with Churchill. My insurance has gone up by over £300 since last year. Why are we being ripped off is the question? I asked them why and they gave a kind of vague excuse. Is it a plot to price us out of driving?

I change my company every year and get a far better deal than I would have, as much as £300 sometimes.
I use three price comparison sites, its a pain filling in all the details but once you have done it and saved your details to your account it will use those saved details every year you just need to update any changes.
Same for house insurance, but you need a few comparison sites because one site doesn’t cover every insurance company.
Once again, everything is rampantly out of control.
A classic example is the water companies they pay themselves and the shareholders big bonuses and dump the sewage in the river, when they get fined they put the prices up, so who is paying the fines not the people responsible?
Auto renew is also a common tactic for over charging many people don’t even look at the renewal price which is mostly over inflated and far better deals are available, for me its not even about the money I just don’t like being ripped off.
I could go on about rip off Britain, I’m afraid the general public are either too dumb or too lazy to do anything about it.
Time these greedy money -grubbers are brought into line with realistic price increases.
I think most of the increases are caused by electric cars, I will say no more.
Never heard of quotemehappy, £148 46, is unbelievable! my insurance with Churchill went up from £365.00 last year to over £800 this year. I think cris1117 is right, shop around more.
Heard something interesting the other day, your car sends your driving habits to a central hub where the insurance companies collect your data and use that to guage what to charge you.
I must have been a very, very bad girl, speeding and dodging and committing all sorts of misdemeanours.
