Arrived home tonight to find the two envelopes from insurer - renewal time. Oh Dear - lots in news about rising rates etc. Put them on table whilst I took dogs out and had supper - putting off opening them. Opened them after tea - prepared for the worst - shock................... BMW 528 - Was £625 pa - new renewal premium £480 pa inc DD fee Volvo 850 - Was £295pa - new renewal premium £295 pa inc DD fee This is now second year that I have actually seen premia go down rather than up - I have protected maximum no claims and expect to see it rise a bit because general prices are rising, but clearly not in this little oasis in Renfrewshire. In addition I haven't written off an old Volvo on black ice for 2 years and 3 months now. Year before last insurer did try to hit us with a rise so we priced up on comparison websites and they matched prices and since then we've had a drop in costs each year. Perhaps at 48 I'm becoming "old" in the view of the insurers - funny I still feel like I'm 18. I think I drive better though. Are there other sensible drivers out there seeing their policies getting cheaper? Nick
