My LWB Transit van insurance for this year is £120 for third party fire and theft; this was calculated by my age, full no claims bonus and Post Code. I have just been quoted for renewal, by the same company £190, well over 50% increase in premiums, this is with a full no claims bonus. To make matters worse I changed my Transit for a Mondeo Estate this week, and they quoted me £300 Fully Comprehensive. I said I did not want Fully Comprehensive and they replied it is cheaper than third Party only. We are being ripped off with everything these days. It makes you think; with the amount of tax we pay on fuel/excise duty, is it really worth owning a car!
