General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I had car insurance with the AA for many years, but stupidly I didn't bother to check what they were charging me monthly/yearly.

One year I received my renewal notice so I thought I'd just give it a quick peak, then renew again but, imagine my horror when I discovered they were charging me over £500 for the year on my SIXTEEN year old car.

Like Tommy, I was fully comp, etc and I'd never made a claim, never been in an accident but, if I'd written my car off, they perhaps would have given me £1000 at the very most to get another car.

So I changed over to Liverpool Victoria, then another, and back to Liverpool Victoria again, when I got my current car. Car insurance is crazily out of proportion these days, but those who don't bother with it and drive around uninsured is perhaps why premiums keep going up. It's not right, and it's not fair, but there's nowt we can do about it.
