Transit Insurance

[Mark Bolam]

Adrian Flux were over a grand.

Adrian flux prices have gone up, have been with them for a long time and just re-insured my trucks with them for another year. I have found to limit mileage makes a big different.

Mileage makes a massive difference. Let's tag the conspiracy theorists into this thread to point out that this seemingly small aspect of car insurance is part of a larger, sinister agenda to keep people from going very far and seeing much outside their village etc.

Why on earth would I want to leave my own village?

Ok, for me Aviva renewal 440 up from 390. Direct Line want 620.

 

I'm going to get Aviva renewed before they put the price up.

 

I think this just proves it's a total lottery doesn't it.

Absolutely Dan.

 

At this rate I think I’ll end up wearing the 50% price increase from DL.

 

I’ll just put my prices up 50% to compensate.

Last time round, whoever I'm insured with e-mailed me, subject line: "We're going to auto renew your policy."

 

"Oh aye? For a fortune no doubt. Are you fyuck, you chancing bastards."

 

Only £12 more than last year, less than inflation. Couldn't believe it. Let them do it. Highly unlike me. Hope they make the same mistake this year.

 

Actually I hope they die but you know what I mean.

Do it. Pass costs onto the consumer. Until they riot. Do you think Unilever absorb insurance costs because it would make things seem a bit steep otherwise?

 

My band played a gig in Newcastle a few weeks ago. While organising, I pointed out to my guitarist, who booked it and was doing the gear logistics, that if I needed to use my van to get drums etc to the venue, there would be a £25 surcharge on our usual fee (£0) to cover the clean air zone charge. I was the world's worst arsehole for suggesting such a thing. It was my fault for driving an old van and it's not the venue's fault that they now operate in a clean air zone. Well it's not my fault they operate in a clean air zone either.

 

Consumers always end up paying for this sort of bullshit. I'm fully for that. They're the majority and I want them angry.

I’m actually all for auto-renewal, saves anyone being caught uninsured unless it’s deliberate.
