Just had my home and car joint insurance renewal quote.
It's more than double last years.
Anyone else seeing this kind of crap?

A class B McGeady with even less of an end product combined with the ability of Frank McGarvey in beating himself.
Worse than useless.

Car insurance rates are largely linked to claim rates/payouts in your area, and surrounding ones, and the car type. If that car type is in lots of claims that year, it'll rocket.
What most don't realise is that if you add a named driver or even change the parking location, sometimes the policy will change underwriter and that in itself can save you a big chunk of money. Hasting direct and saga etc all use this system and the same vehicle and policy xover from the same company can have a big price difference just because of a small detail.
Also having your car on your drive can strangely get you a higher rate than having it parked on the road outside.
Insurance logic doesn't always seem to match common sense.

The insurance industry is taking an absolute pounding and those who provide car insurance also do many other insurance cover options.
They’re making huge losses so tightening up on payout limits, more “proof” required, more restrictions and higher premiums are to be expected, but like everything else; you need to shop around.
One key point is that you never question the cost of insurance when you have a claim to make.
And watch out for unintentional over or under insurance. That can dramatically affect and claim payout.

Young guy that worked for me was a bit of a boy racer. Not nuisance stuff but like a low end hot hatch and was quite precious about washing it every week and changing it regularly. Then one day he comes in with a big new Lexus RX350 worth 2x his annual pay, and he was getting married, new house and kid.
For starters a Lexus is just after a Jag and Honda for pipe and slippers territory and defo not hot hatch. Anyways, he'd taken out gap insurance and shortly before it was up his car was suspiciously stolen and burnt out in a field. Neds generally do that near where they can make a hasty getaway, no? Story was he'd left the keys on a sill at an open window - who does that?
Anyways he got the full replacement value the jammy cant.
