A few companies have announced that they are dropping prices in Wales due to fewer accidents after the 20 mph limit - but I tihnk that was about 20-50 or something. I dont think Ive seen any of that though.Quote:

Think the supposed roads are safer thing re 20mph isn’t really doing much for insurance premiums. In fact, it appears with traffic so slow anyway in Cardiff, if people can go fast at any point in time, they just go for it with careless abandon….:hehe: like the shackles are off, let’s go, if the first car is doing it the rest just follow suit….
I think charging 215 then 285 the next year is taking the pissQuote:

My house ins when up £100 this year too.
Mine went up £30.
Didn't think it was worth £30 of my time to shop around for anything potentially cheaper, so stayed with the same company.
about £70-90 of everyone's car insurance premium is to cover payouts for whiplash claims
For the amount they've gone down, it's only a handful of claims across Wales throughout the year. Insurance companies are hardly going to lower premiums for that.Quote:

I reckon that's nonsense. There has only been around a 20% reduction in accidents in 20/30mph speed limit areas, whether that is down to the limits dropping is yet to be proved. Overall, the number of accidents on all roads hasn't gone down 20%. I also reckon the number of claims on roads of 30mph or slower would tend to be lower than those on roads with a higher speed limit, so 20% overall? I don't buy that whatsoever. That's not based on any dislike I have for a blanket approach on the 20mph limit but looking at it logically.Quote:

that was what was fairly widely reported - car damage claims down by 20% across Wales.Quote:

320 to 350. Still under £1 a day.Quote:

Shop around as other companies won't have as much weight on certain factors like postcode. You could also look at increasing your excess, or, if you have breakdown included, look at changing the level of cover ?
Just renewed mine - Admiral reduced mine by £30 but I had to use the online system to coerce them into it
Well an increase of 215 quid to 285 is 32 percentQuote:

But I'll go back to my point - if road accidents overall haven't gone down by 20%, how have claims gone down that much?Quote:

Mine went up about £500 from £7 to 1200, and that's with full no claims.
I was told the increases are because of the costs of repairing electric cars.
You had a policy that cost 7 quid a year? Wow.Quote:

I asked them if they could send somebody to have a look at it but they said they wouldn’t and I had to get somebody to check it myself. I couldn’t get anybody so it’s being picked up on Monday and I appreciate there could be major damage but it could be cheaper to repair than write it off.
How much would it cost them to fully determine the extent of the flood damage? that probably becomes part of the decision.Quote:

It could be the car’s worth £17-18000 so I think it’s worth an examinationQuote:
