Advantages: too expensive

Disadvantages: you need it

As a lot of you already know,im from Belfast in Northern Ireland,you however may not be aware that a lot of the good competitive Insurance Companies on the UK mainland will not give a car insurance quote to someone from Northern Ireland because of the high rate of car theft and claims over here.

Now I understand their point of view but i think it is not fair on someone who has been driving for over 20 years to find their policy going up and up over the years.

I renewed my poicy last month and the company i was with had put the policy up by £120 even though i had no claims in that previous year.

I decided to shop around and eventually got an Insurance company who gave me a quote £40 less than my old quote,this in its self totally confuses me.

For example i drive a Fiesta but its a cerain model,now because its a certain model its £45 dearer than if it was just the standard Fiesta even though if you put the two Fiestas together you wouldnt be able to tell the difference,can anyone explain this to me.

And all i ever get from the Car Insurers is how lucky i am to get my car insured when i did as the rates are going up by 20% in a months time,my goodness i think i will soon have to get my bicycle out.

Please tell me its not just me that thinks the car insurance has just gone daft,or is Mr Blair trying to take the only way of transport we have off us.

I would appreciate any comments from my readers in England,Scotland and Wales and anywhere else on your car insurance prices.
