Pappa583 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just been looking for comparisons for the insurance due next month for my 2016 q7 and shocked by the price hike..... I'm a year older still no claims or convictions but wow.... the price is seriously high compared to last year, and the car is worth less than not was. Anyone else experienced the ridiculousness of renewals recently. I'm 50 next year, been driving since 17, clean license, own another car with 15 years no claims and 5 years no claims on this one.... aviva are almost £1k, others on compare the market are over £700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Hello Paul, From family member’s experience this year, to avoid surprise, double last year’s premium and knock a £100 or so off, and that’s about it. No doubt other members will be along and point out that theirs haven’t increased much, but I think there has been enough media hype to warn us all. What I’ve found is that the variation in the cheaper end of the comparison site quotes is not what it used to be - suggesting a cartel-? As you point out, the quoted ‘vehicle value’ would be insufficient to allow you to replace the vehicle like for like. ‘….50 next year……’ Wait until you clock 80, then you will feel the pain of premium increases! Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi gareth, Not an audi this one's a ford Focusrs mk2 2010 so getting on a bit now, still under 40k miles but super clean and been garaged in my 6 years ownership Totally different to drive to the air suspension and automatic q7, its not as refined, noisy, bumpy as hell and I feel like it's trying to kill me every time I take it out on a Sunday blast.... not that it's been out in a while 😱 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
