HIC have done it again.

[draper]

From I.T/Office based, to industrial/warehouse

thats because anyone who works in an office is deemed sensible and warehouse monkeys arent

(not saying your a monkey, monkeys dont have hair that long/wild )

[Adam]

Aye.
I just didn't expect the increase to be so much TBH.

Just because ive changed where i work doesn't make my drive any quicker

[NASTYNOVA]

Had my renewal through, £394 including breakdown cover,drive other cars,track cover etc.
Had a few other quotes from sky/brentacre etc, all of which were £480+ without breakdown cover.

So i rung up hic to renew today, also changed my occupation over from my last job, expecting it to make fook all difference.
"I'll just requote you with the new details"

"The premium has increased, to £549"

£150 more for a change of job

I explained i wasn't going to pay that, and had had cheaper quotes elsewhere
"Oh, i'll see what i can do"

"Ok ive had a word with my supervisor, and the best we can do you is £399"

£150 off because basically they got a bit worried i was going to hang up

RESULT
Cheers Rob @ HIC :D

you what?? your griping for £480?? i pay just shy of £2000 3rd party fire and theft on a 1.4 mk3 astra!! id be well chuffed with £480!!

[Adam]

And?
Everyones been in that situation.
And a 1.4 mk3 astra is not a cheap car to insure, suprisingly high insurance groups

How old are you/ how many ncb.....?

[NASTYNOVA]

not gripin cos i have to pay that, worth every penny!! 19, with none yet, my insurance company are nobs anyway, they class it as a sports car!! (dont get how??)

[Adam]

Sounds about right for your age TBH.
The lowest group on a 1.4 astra is 6 iirc.
I paid £1100 on my first year, on a grp3 1.2i

[Jack]

They were probably just nobbing it on then, the only occupations which endure a decent hike in premium are things like journalism, motor trade and military/civil service (on a base).

[Rexy]

lmfbo and guess which i come under.... Might change my trade to a noncy office boy again then :D WOooo cheaper insurance.

on that i paid 2k I **** you not, 2k for a corsa sport 1400 at 18 with 0NCB and i was rather chuffed with that and happily paid it. Oh being young and nieve.

[Riggy]

pmsl 2k that was bad ,

im payin 1200 now , but it is on a 2.2 sri astra and a nova xe with **** loads of mods

[draper]

im waiting till i hit the magical 25 next year before insuring a car this time
