I had a car insurance renewal quote that had a 110% increase since last year. That's more than doubled with no claims, accidents, or points.

I went to a comparison site and found one that was 'only' a 50% increase on last year. Insurance prices are ridiculous!

Actually I did get last year's quote wrong, last year I paid 583 which is considerably less than I said (my memory is going)

It went upto £998. Still seems excessive to me, I'm bang on 50, never claimed, never had an accident & have all my no claims.

At the bottom is a message “this years quote includes IPT..” would you mind showing the full message?

No worries,

No optional extras.

Thanks - I was expecting it to say “last years price didn’t include tax but this years price does”

But its not, both include IPT. Honestly insurance pricing is mad, even from the inside
