[@hardsjeremy3973]

The value of the car has very little impact on premium, unless it is really high end like a Ferrari. The rates are based on statistics that estimate the likelihood of you being in an accident and the cost that will have to be paid to the third party. You could easily cause £30k to £40k damage to a modern car. If they are injured, then the costs are astronomical.

In most European countries, car insurance covers you insure vehicle itself, not the driver. This means that anyone who drives the car is covered by the policy and it covers the car and medical. However, in UK insurers exploit loopholes by requiring named drivers or multiple policies for the same car, leading to unnecessary costs for consumers.

Of course the wealthy will still have access to cars and maybe they'll even push for a 'ride share' system where you don't own a car but maybe have access to one some of the time.

The schools treat em like 11yr olds when theyr 17 now and they want them to be isolated no local friends all online nonsense its a huuuge problem theyr dividing the masses into ever smaller fractions we no longer watch tv together or have music in common like previous generations now people stream alone or at different times so the unity we all felt in the past with fads or crazes is isolated to specific culture groups now and not shared by all like it used to be, the class divide is blatant the poor are indoctrinated and brainwashed, priced out of living a genuinely free life they are trapped in their homes or local estates all across greater london. there is no freedom when inflated costs tolls or taxes are trapping millions inside with no disposable income whatsoever.. (ulez means now millions of people cant even try to improve their life by getting a cheap car or van to go to work anymore! Its an awful thing i feel so sorry for 17 18yr olds and kids who cant remember the 90s or actual freedom or privacy) All this sneaky control and cleverly calculated pricing goes on to give the illusion of choice or freedom and sadly most people are too busy surviving to see the bigger picture and realise their lifes a lie and they are a slave to a broken outdated system. With global communication and current technology wed be so better off if we adapted and werent forced to obey the greedyest most evil 1%s ancient plans born long before anyone alive today and from a different time, if we could just evolve past this greed or get rid of that 1% altogether (small sacrafice imo, they screw the 99% to serve the 1% and have gradually turned this whole world into a pyramid scheme ffs so they do really deserve deletion if they wont agree to be fair willingly (democracy no lol?).. Scarcity is a lie theres plenty for everyone if we just stop monoculture farming and trying to pay into a failed outdated system that allows a small% to accumulate power and manipulate the rest of the species as a result!.. It does NOT have our best interests in mind at all so we shouldnt submit to or support it. In uk the majority of people just exist to be as human livestock just an easy way to funnel and direct tax money back into the system using benefits court cases taxes fines etc. and thats where they should stay in the eyes of the ruling class so as a result theres been less and less ways of non criminally bettering your future prospects as the years go on by working hard.. So while the poor work their fingers bloody to barely get by and usually have debt and no savings living day to day or cheque to cheque the rich totally cheat the system using a combo double edged sword of inflation and keeping money all tied up as assets with almost zero banked money just enough to live off and keep everything running, the assets are transformed into cash again only if needed it hardly ever is tho because they know they automatically get credit equal to the assets they own! meaning when your above a certain wealth threshold youd be very unwise not to keep spending hundreds of thousands on any stable asset (from coal or gravel to the maple syrup reserve in canada or the vodka reserve in russia, even houses cars jewelry its all inflatable assets which gets transformed into useable credit) so the act of "spending" once one reaches a certain level of wealth is totally an illusion unless spent on consumable or unstable assets! (the film brewsters millions kinda explains this too i saw it loads as a kid but id never joined the dots until i randomly was thinking about the economy many years later lol) the value is not only never lost it also increases daily due to inflation, whereas cash or cash savings devalues daily because of inflation so its like a multiple combined advantage our cash devalues at the same time their net worth increases! Plus all the advantages that come with having plenty of capital to invest in ventures, wealthy family networking and time spare from not having to work so theres no rush or distractions that the poor have from the constant worry and threats of debt or from trying to prevent homelessness/starvation/unemployment.. That advantage is quite exponentially huge its absolutely ridiculous this is happening but tbh it took me a lot of years to work this out for myself i just suddenly realised one day while thinking to myself! so i expect most poor people just dont even understand its happening?? Im really not sure but nobody i ask is aware of this and because im considered fairly intelligent if it wasnt obvious to me until my mid 20s and nobody i know is aware id imagine a majority of 'normal' people never actually work it out? I hear most poor ppl talk about 'Living off the interest' leading me to believe they dont actually understand economics.. I know for fact We certainly aren't informed of it as part of public education lol but im sure its made very very clear to them at any private schools! Or maybe its just common knowledge passed down among their class either way its a problem its a huuuge joke how the system is geared in favour of those who dont need any help, why instead shouldnt they cover the poorest peoples taxes for them out of the free inflated wealth they are cheating outta thin air that theyd never notice missing! Imo now currency isnt backed by any gold or physical thing the only reason for inflation Devaluing a currency is the competition between currencys making it relative if we ever trade international so in other words its being held onto cos of greed and stupidity, wed be better off all uniting and agreeing to do away with it cos then wed end up being able to print extra without devaluing it beyond useless.. Unite and defy bros, change is due the greed and corruption has gone way too far.. Try unite while we still can while the police are still human and have the chance to unite with us for their kids futures, It will be drones and robocops before long no doubt and when that happens then we may have passed the point of no return because when no humans are required to 'just follow orders' in return for favoritism or wages we could somehow miraculously unite all religions races and creeds and then still be opressed by dalek style arrest bots and drone swarms... this was never a risk before when human labor was required by any dictator but this is changing fast just think how many drones and droids can be built for the cost of a single humans wages for 1 year at least 500 its so cheap and efficient its almost certainly in the pipeline at some point because these corps love maximising efficiency and trying to squeeze out every possible drop of profit no matter the cost to society or the product/service (customer service is almost non existent already ffs..) Its all a mess tho, wed be way better off with a barter system and using precious metals by weight or exchange of goods or labour and circumventing the tax system altogether but unfortunately thers no good parents anymore and half the kids cant even count coins theyv been fully trained to rely on digital currency and they dont understand their rights to privacy like the older generations (hmm almost seems like theyr being prepared for total subliminal control maybe heading to a sterile fearful demolition man style future merthinks..)

I ended up paying about £1150 when all the quotes I’d done earlier in the week were closer to £960. They also told me my front garden isn’t private property and charged me £120 to keep it on the road and when I moved from a town house to a rural detached house with a garage they hiked it another £250, never showed me the price and just charged my card after I let them know i was moving house.

The one huge problem with car insurance is not what you think. You will get NO help from the government, remember the insurance premium tax? The more you pay for your premium, the more tax you pay to the government in tax! Insurance premium tax is a percentage of the premium, so the higher the premium, the higher the tax charged and paid to the government. It is not in the government's interest to lower insurance premiums as it would reduce their tax income. It is just another VAT (Value Added Tax).

Car insurance in this country is legal theft. I lived in the UAE for several years and there you insure the car not the driver. It’s ridiculous that if you’re a spouse and are a named driver on your partner’s insurance for 30 years with no accidents then your partner dies, you don’t have any no claims and have to pay insurance as if you’ve never driven before. If you forget which insurance companies you’ve insured yourself with and can’t provide evidence of no claims, again it’s as if you’ve never driven. Surely that should be on record for all insurance companies to see. Post Covid insurance premiums increased ridiculously and the excuse was well it costs more to repair a car now so your premium is higher even if you’ve never claimed. Meanwhile the Government are taking their 20% from the increased insurance premiums, on top of exorbitant car tax, fuel duty, the tax on fuel, and we are still spending our days dodging holes in the road so we don’t have to claim on our car insurance…

[@KJMTurbo]

Another bizarre quirk to insurance quote hunting, one of the biggest changes that I could find was by using faux names. I use to do so many I didn’t want hassling with sales so I’d use all my details, address, dob, vehicle, etc etc, I’d put a fake name and number. Changing back to my name would have the biggest change. I tried it with my friends names and proved not just be a fluke with me. My suggestion on comparison cars is to get your details set, find the vehicle you want to insure, and just keep getting new quotes with loads of different names till you find the cheapest name to quote with, and with that quote reference, call up and change the name with them. They can’t legally discriminate or change the quote based on your name so you get to keep that price, and update the policy with the correct name.

I called my insurance company to remove my wife off my policy after she passed away, they said my premium would go up by £50 a year. I told the agent to leave her on. The whole industry is a scam.

[@BillyBartell-zz8dz]

Having a named driver on a policy will always bring the price down because insurers see it as shared responsibility and there's less chance of the car getting damaged, as for the buy it now price most insurers work off real time pricing which is all automated across the board and tracks so much data daily. It definitely is crap and I can see why people are signing and getting behind this petition

[@dvanz7002]

If insurance is mandatory there should always be at least 1 option to insure your car

[@richardjones7386]

The person driving is the risk. Insure the person, as in USA. One policy that covers the person whatever they are driving. After all, multiple cars- you can still only drive one at a time so why have separate policies on every car you own. Change is needed particularly when the requirement is mandatory.

[@caviarshower]

mandatory means optional

[@autobootpiloot]

The person driving is only part of the (financial) risk. The car is a way greater part of the risk. Not only are fast cars way more likely to have a accident, expensive cars cost more money and heavy cars do more damage. In the uk, a person is insured with a specific car. In most of Europe a car is insured no matter who drives it, but the history, age and whatever of the owner/the person who drives the car most often dictates the price. That seems to be a decent compromise where there is never a situation without insurance and the price is still fair.

[@alexlerwill344]

The problem with your comments is that in the even of serious injuries, the costs outweigh any realistic car value. You are right that some cars have a bigger risks but that’s not based on car value per say. I think a more reasonable compromise is to insure people to drive cars for x miles with y insurance category of cars or bellow. Then it should be run on an acceptable profit yield (say 10% per annum?) where the drive to increase profits is to get more people insured as your efficiency is better therefore can offer cheaper policies. Whilst increasing revenue.

[@autobootpiloot]

@@alexlerwill344 I’m not really sure what you try to say. But it sounds needlessly complicated and at least partially incorrect. The costs of insurance are based on the potential costs for the insurance company. The price of the car is only a small factor in that. The biggest cost is healthcare, the biggest risks are the driver and mostly performance of the car. The us and the uk don’t have good functioning car insurance. In both countries there are a lot of uninsured drivers. There are plenty of countries with mandatory insurance that are both affordable and good. You don’t have to invent the wheel again, it’s perfectly known what works. A lot of countries in Europe have a good functioning and as honest as possible system in place.

I was with Flow insurance (LV) , which changed names (and maybe hands?) and is now called Allianz. I have 9 years no claims and been with Flow for two of them. This year they upped my car insurance by 50%. Same car, no claims, no address change, nothing. Did a quick comparison and 10 other insurance companies would offer me 10% less than I paid the previous year, for the exact same policy. When I queried with Allianz, they referred me to their website, which states "their first price is their best price, no haggling accepted". What a pig headed response. I feel bad for the poor people that may have missed this and paid more than they should. They have too much power over a mandated product and should be held accountable for defrauding the public. Shop around people.

[@0rdoAbChao]

LV was purchased by Allianz a few years ago. It’s a German insurance company who do provide a much better service in the event that something bad does actually happen to you on the roads. So it is more expensive, but if you’re in an accident and then become paraplegic for example they tend to do a far better job than other insurance companies at getting the money you - in that position - really need from the other drivers insurance company for your care, physio, home adaptations etc. I get the point of your original post, I just thought I’d add some context as to why they are more expensive.

[@1mrk1]

@@0rdoAbChao Thanks for some background on them. I've used them for a few years and they've always been very competitive. So it was quite the surprise when they upped it by 50% this year. I just feel it was far too much for the current economic climate we're all facing.

My mum got hit by an uninsured driver, person drove away had the plate and stuff. Police basically said they couldn't do anything as they didnt catch them when it happened and the insurer was like we can fix it but it'll affect your insurance. So she ended up having to pay for the repair herself.

Great post Mark and I’ve signed and circulated the petition. I experienced the same issue with Hastings Direct and Enterprise maybe 3 years ago. A guy reversed into my wife’s Nissan Xtrail and put a dent in the offside rear bumper, maybe a fist size. A scratch to the offside rear indicator lens as well. We reported it and an hour later Enterprise called and said the case was now theirs and they were sending us a hire car. I asked why as the bumper could be replaced in a day when the parts came in and we had another car anyway but they insisted. 2 hours later a brand new Mercedes SLC SUV turned up and they took our car away. The Mercedes was being charged at £700.00 per week! I chased and chased for 10 Weeks and in the eleventh week we got our car back. The total price for the incident was nearly £10k….. for a bumper and light cluster. I complained to the ombudsman but didn’t get a response. The insurance situation is a disgrace. Good luck mate

Insurance companies should legally have to offer the best price they can possibly do. We are getting absolutely f*cking fleeced. My car insurance nearly doubled this year, for just no reason. No change in circumstances or car or anything. The market just decided it’s going to charge us nearly double. That’s extortion.

[@larssonk22]

Enterprise is such a shady company, we rented a car from them after our car was written off (parked in a carpark someone in a Taycan ran into it). When the car was due to be returned they couldn't process our return, so they said we could hold onto it and use it until the issue was resolved on their end. Two days later we call back, they suddenly don't have any record of the car they lent us. I immediately knew something dodgy was going on so I called my insurance company. Half an hour later Enterprise called to say they would come and pick up the car!

[@KS-vo3hf]

The UK car insurance industry is obviously corrupt, how in the hell is insurance for a £3k car going to cost £3k a year? That simply isn't fair

It’s about the damage that 3k car can do to others. And healthcare is also insured so it can add up very quickly. Still unfair though because in most places with comparable wealth it costs less than half of what it would cost in the uk.
