I'm sure - as the 'careful lady owner' of a small car - that Saga charging me car insurance of about ?500 is a ripoff - they say it's because of the SE15 postcode. I really want to know if this is true - what are other people paying? fully comp, long no claims history - anyone got views or info that would help please?

Spend 10/15 minutes getting some quotes: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/car-insurance/


Loyalty to insurers/banks died about 20 years ago. Most insurers now even charge renewal fees of ?50 or so in addition to hiking up your premium by 100% in many cases.

saga and the AA's car insurance quotes are a joke! last year I checked prices on a comparison website but finally went with the co-op. not only was their quote lower but I also got another 10%discount for holding a co-op membershipcard and ?50 worth of instore food vouchers. No harm in checking them out. Good luck
Insurance quotes are ridiculous, full stop. A few years ago I did the comparison site thing, and found one of the cheapest was my current insurer - offering a good 20% lower than my renewal notice. I rang them up and the person in the callcentre sheepishly said she couldn't match the price, even though it was the same company. She advised me to buy the 'new' policy and let my old one lapse.

Do google customer reviews as well as price.


I always do a price comparison at renewal, but I choose to stay with my current insurer because although a bit more expensive they have much higher ratings for customer service.


I do always phone them to try to get them to reduce the cost. Sometimes it works!

I spent 3 hours of my life last night getting car insurance Saga was a staggering ?1236 ! I finally got one down to 506 then in the end got my husband to do it with me as a named driver for 398 . Someone ran into my car while stationary last year, but it still affects the insurance, they wrote our car off as well so we have lost out all ways.Insurance is a joke.Used go compare who were cheaper than the meerkat one, even though same companies.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
