How's your premium £1200 when you haven't had an accident in 30 years and your car is 12 years old?It’s only about £20 a year extra though. When your premium is £1200 it’s hardly a big issue
Anyone use their own car for business driving?

One of ours is about £200 also.
It's over a decade old, a couple of claims on our file from 6+ years ago. Both named drivers have 20 years ish driving each.

Cos they just make them up?
I got hit while parked twice in a week. Premium soared then. I got it down to £800, then I bought this car (which is 4 years older than my previous one) and it went up £400 with no explanation. Arseholes.

Move insurers then, they're taking your pants down.
Dave man
What was it before the hits? Do you pay for premium protection?
I’d definitely be looking for other quotes.

That was the cheapest quote.
It was about 400, and yeah that’s with full protected no claims.
I’ve tried putting the deatails in without the hits and it goes back down around that again.

The insurers must get on here then and take note of your lax approach to road safety

£1200 f***ing hell
That’s a bit crap then as you’re paying for the premium protection to negate those increases.

I'm main insurer on 2 cars and only pay 500 and odd quid.

They might have a driving policy which states x amount of points and you can’t drive for them.
Might also be classed as bringing the company into disrepute, that is always a catch all definition.

I take it you claimed against your own insurance then?
I got hit twice when parked while on a employee lease scheme, so no NCB. Also live in a rough area and have the Yankette on the insurance with me as a learner as she's working out how to use a clutch. Mine is about half that - they are having your eyes out there

Didn’t have much choice. One was the courtesy car while mine was in the shop.
I cannot work out why it’s so high. One is down as my fault, as I was opening my door, despite the other bloke being 6 inches from my door, speeding, and driving away from the scene. The other is malicious damage.
But neither were more than a grand. Hopefully they’ll be expunged in a year or so and it will go back down.

Doesn't sound right at all that mind....I've been hit with no fault and never went up drastically.
