Is car insurance fair? I don't think so after my recent experience. After being rear ended twice in two months by 2 careless drivers, i am the one left out of pocket once again. My first unfortunate incident was in a queue of traffic where everyone was stationary in front and behind when all of a sudden the driver behind decided he wanted to ...

Being a relatively new driver, I feel that I should do an opinion on the money eater that is car insurance. Ok, most of you people reading this are probably seasoned drivers, and have a relatively low premium, but not me, you see I've only been driving for a year and a bit, and so my premium is SKY HIGH. Like I said, insurance is a real money ...

I am not too sure what Insurance premium costs are like in the UK - but here in the Republic of Ireland they are absolutely ridiculous. However, it is not so much the massive price we have to pay that bothers me, it is that my girlfriend's premium is half what I pay. Let me make it clear that we are the same age. We both have full ...

As you know car insurance premiums are set to rise by 25%, and for young drivers like myself this is a nightmare. It already costs lots to get lessons, take your tests and pass them. I sympathise for all who failed as it costs around £70 to do it again. The you have to either insure yourself on your parents car or buy your own. I think i'll be ...

No doubt, like me, your insurance premium has increased again this year. Well, I think the main reasons for all these rises are...... (1) The creation of all these claim companies which are all over our T.V screen's and newspapers....have you had an accident in the last three years.....etc,etc.... (2) ...

Motor insurance has long been one of the banes of my life. My first car (a 998cc Mini) cost me over six hundred pounds to insure 3rd party, fire and theft because I was 18 years old. In the seven years I have been driving I have made no claims, had no accidents, had no convictions and generally have had a spotless driving record. I don't ...

If you?re thinking of responding to one of the many ?no win no fee? adverts that are around at the moment then this opinion may be of some use. I was the passenger of a car which was in an accident in early 1999. A drunk driver pulled out across us and the car I was in went into the side of the drunk driver?s car at full speed. I was taken to ...

As someone who has worked in motor insurance claims, there are a few pointers I would like to share with anyone unfortunate enough to need to make a claim, I hope they will help make everyone's life a little easier. If your vehicle is damaged: 1. Tell your insurance company or broker straight away. They may want to get an ...

When the car insurance was due for renewal last year I put the letter to one side..thinking I'll deal with that soon. Sods law being the most important job of the day it got left. The day before it was due I found it and was suprised to notice the big increase over last years - extra £100 even though still a clean accident record. ...

When my car insurance was recently due for renewal, I noticed that the premium had gone up for no unexplained reason. When I asked for an explanation, I was told that it was because I drive a Suzuki - apparently a lot of "boy racers" drive them and some insurance companies rate the premiums,others won't touch them. Anyway, I decided ...

I had always been glad to have legal cover with my motor insurance. For a small additional premium, you are offered the services of a specialist firm of solicitors who will act for you if any aspect of your claim is disputed. However, recent experience has revealed just what a waste of money this is. My father was involved in an ...

I have tried to put my opinion on the Direct Line title, but it won't let me, so will put it on here. Remember the advert by Direct Line last year with Mr Jones? Mr Jones had an accident that wasn't his fault and he didn't have to do a thing, Direct Line did everything for him, and he received a courtesty car. Where was my ...

Two years ago I bought a new Peugeot 106. I was particularly drawn towards this car because it came with two years free insurance. At the time I had only 2 years no claims bonus so this was a particularly good financial incentive for me. BUT now the time to pay for my own insurance is upon me once again, I have encountered a few potentially ...

SAGA Car Insurance for the over fifities: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SAGA (over fifties) Insurance must rate as the best in the business. I’ve said something similar to this before but I’m back to support my earlier dooyoo with new ‘evidence’. My partner and I recently decided ...

What a waste of time. If you want an insurance quote you're better off calling the companies rather then trying to get a quote off the internet. I wanted a quote on a 4 door car, so I searched the net and found numerous companies so I went to the first one and started filling in the questions...and more questions...and even ...

Not sure if this is where this one should go....but here goes anyway. I am a driver. I am also a sometime cyclist...What strikes me as unfair, is that as a driver, I have to take out expensive insurance for if I happen to make a mistake and damage someone or something with my vehicle. As a cyclist however I can use the roads as much as I ...
