Pretty much impossible to say, too many factors like your age/area/prev history. I'd just whack the details into one of the comparison sites to see if it's ballpark?

Depends on age and NCD too. My 35i costs me £270 a year but I'm 30 with 10yrs NCD.

I use esure for mine.

You're both right, of course.

So, let me change the question. Assuming no change in factors, does insurance go up year on year?

No it should not.

Every insurer I've had renewal with has increased the price, that's what they do. In the hope that you're lazy enough and will simply accept the renewal price. Go online and you'll find a better quote 99% of the time..often saving a lot.

If you stay with the same people they’ll try to ramp it up year on year Buster. Why not try a comparison site? There’s no loyalty with insurance company’s. Or if you’re intent on staying with the same at least get a comparison, which will be cheaper, then go back to AXA and say match this.

I pay £240 a year protected NCB on my 35is. Full no claims bonus.

Insurers like many other services rely on consumer complacency, shop around!

I wouldnt want to be 23 again - I'm knocking on the door of 70 so a late 40's early 50's would be fine with me and still get decent insurance of all types :thumbsup:
