azasturbo Member 206 Member For: 15y 11m 9d Posted 28/09/09 06:33 AM Share Posted 28/09/09 06:33 AM Theres usually a reason if theres a big jump like that eg - car gets older - driver gets older or into a different risk group - Alot of idiots crash or steal that model car in the previous 12 months - at fault claims - not at fault claims - were you live - fuel costs - labour costs /cpi changes - transport costs - availability of accident repair parts+ about a million other factors that can influence itso did you renew with them or shop around?

(50 times would prob receive a fark off letter rather then a renewal but yeah).... 40% is crazy stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR64T Are we there yet? Donating Members 703 Member For: 21y 2m 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 28/09/09 12:21 PM Share Posted 28/09/09 12:21 PM Had a similar experience... Been with the same insurance company for the last 22 years and 2 cars for atleast 10 of those years. My 2003 BA Turbo was approx. $1100 - $1250 as the years went by. Asked for a quote for my new FG Turbo and got a quote for a ridiculous $2950. Same as above, queried it and was offered an additional 10% discount as I was SUCH A GOOD CUSTOMER???Shopped around and found 3 other insurers willing to do the deal for between $1200 and $1300 for the same excess...Lets just say they lost a customer that had been loyal for 22 years and probably spent over $40k with them over that period!!!
