Insured my MK Indy Fireblade with Sureterm last year £127 no changes this year but quoted £279 WTF is that all about now will have to spend lots of
time getting quotes
I take it that's the auto generated renewal. If so sounds about right. Phone them up and pretend to be a new customer and you'll get a much better quote without them even realising you already have a policy...
flux quoted me £500 for my saab
Last year was £350
Went elsewhere (try quidco) ended up with an RAC policy for £300 ish.
Rang flux to cancel and the cheeky gits tried to pricematch the RAC.
Try getting a quote and seeing what your current insueres say
They all take the michael.
they always put it up after the first year. I never stay with insurance companies for more than a year
seems a bit steep, insured my indy zx10 with them in may for 152 quid !!
It wasn't an automated renewal I called them today.
i phoned them on the monday it was £180 by friday it went up ti £360 they said it because they dont deal with highways insurance any more that the excuse thay given me
Similar situation here.
My IndyBlade is insured with Sureterm, last year I paid £127, this year the renewal came through at £291.
I have looked around and Footman James wanted £366, Frank Pickles £345, Flux £355 so I guessed Sureterm wasn't. so bad after all. I also
completed a quote request for 2gether insurance but got no feedback.
Had a call from Sureterm following up on renewal notice and they acknowleged the increase. They said they could not get as low as last year but did go
down to £244. Since this was lower than other quotes, I decided to renew.
I guess it must be a double wammy of insurance going up in general and insurers becoming wise of BEC's.

our tintop was more this year too - seems to be a general problem this year.
I don't beleive for one minute that the financial services in this country are trying to line there own pockets at our expence though - oh no.

I have had some issues in the past week with renewals.
I am insured with Flux on my 7 and my BMW.
Month ago the 7 came up for renewal; they tried putting about £100. On that, I got it reduced down to nearly what it was last year. Happy.
BMW comes up this month, quoted me about £400. seemed a bit exsp so I went to Tesco Price Compare website and Admiral came in £116.00 cheaper. Went
back to Flux and they matched it as near as dam it.
So it’s worth a quick ring around and goes on the web.
The thing I don’t understand is why it always goes up, they said you would not want to be a young driver, I said I’m not so why is mine going up. They
shoot themselves in the foot, if they put £30.00 on it each year most people would accept it, now we all spout off we can get them to price match and
they lose out all round.

A Flux last year £250.00 for my MK Blade, this year with 2gether £125.00 result 
for the same cover.
I've done okay then.
Privilige insured my A3 2.0 TDI last year and it cost me £500.
Changed cars midway through the term and paid the increase (£75) so I was expecting a renewal of approx £700.
Just got the renewal notice through still with Privilige for £386 fuly comp on an A5 3.0 TDI Sport.
Downside is I was thinking of getting a Bluefin remap (290Bhp/580Nm) and they no longer cover engine upgrades.
My tintop's insurance went up 25% this year - but I did get £20 of M&S vouchers for renewing straight away.
My insurance went down for the same cover with 2gether this year by £10.
im craping myself this year.
I have got 3 points, had accidents and wrote of my bec last year.
Ill be happy with even getting insurance!
If anybody has any boys on the inside or help they can offer, please u2u me!
£130 last year with Footman James, then I fitted a new larger engine (50bhp more...) and the premium dropped to £117
Speak to a person - not a computer!
