I was previously with tesco and paid £210 last year. It went up to £300 so I left them. I was able to a my classic 911 policy making it multi-car and it only cost £30. No idea how insurance company’s work but wasn’t complaining with this option.

Just had mine through.  They sent me an email a few days ago explaining why prices are up, so was expecting an increase.  £293 now up to £410!

LV sent me this before putting my insurance up £200. I will shop around before I commit.

Cost of vehicle repairs – up 32% since 2022. Reflecting rising costs, energy inflation and more expensive repairs (source: ABI).
Payouts for vehicle theft - up 35% since 2022 (source: ABI).
Labour costs for repairs – up 50% since 2019, due to inflation, shortage of skilled workers and the energy crisis (source: Auto Body Professionals).
Severe weather – Storms are getting worse and more frequent and it’s impacting motorists. Recent storms, Babet and Ciarán, saw many cars damaged by flash floods and falling trees/debris in the high winds.
