Insurance.

[Mr and Mrs Tupcox]

From what they told me the mileage is a nominal figure really. Seems strange your has gone up so much. Have you had any significant birthday in the last year?

Wait till you're 70 . . . . or rather, renew the week before you are 70 whether your old policy is running out or not.
Then when you are 80, you need to think of other forms of holiday . . . . .

cruise ships and Warners holiday hotels accept Zimmer frames and mobility scooters

5 weeks today for that milestone. Van insurance renewal 16th August ... I suspect that, if the Van Insurance doesn't kill me off, the Travel Insurance will ... Still, nice to have a choice is what I say ...

I passed 70 almost 7 years ago, and will probably pay whatever is necessary to continue travelling.

I'll only stop motorhoming when I think it's right for the safety of others. On reflection, I'll probably stop when Yvonne tells me to.

Then, perhaps a Harley Davidson mobility scooter? I can always tell her I'm stuck in the pub because the battery seems flat.

Nah you dont want a Harley mobility scooter, you want a Colin Furze mobility scooter:

Or when you have prostate trouble and need the white throne AND to go fast, a Colin Furze toilet

Insurance costs have risen across the board this year. My car insurance rose by 50%, house insurance by 40%, MH insurance by 40%. I checked comparison sites but stayed with the current insurers as they were still the cheapest. The reasons are on the internet and it is all to do with the rising costs for everything due to Covid and Ukraine.

my sons car was reversed into by a delivery van damaging the rear door repair cost going to be £3,800 !!! as that was more than 75% of the cars value it was written off a 16 plate scenic so not rare basic door £600 think this explains the increase on premiums , if it was mine i would have repaired it without claiming i think or bought it back off the ins comp

Losing the Will to live trying to get insurance at the moment. Stupidly high quotes everywhere. Although I do not condone it I can really understand why people drive uninsured, it's a hardship to get and then you pay exorbitantly for something that is potentially not used. I DO NOT CONDONE driving uninsured BTW !!

I hit 70 two months before my insurance was due this year and I think my premium was £20 more than last year.

From what they told me the mileage is a nominal figure really.

Just before I took out my new policy, I checked to see what the price would be if I increased the mileage as a 'just in case'. A fairly small increase resulted in a major price hike.
(I stayed with the old mileage as it would be cheaper to just take out a new policy at the point where I was likely to hit the original mileage limit I chose).

Seems strange your has gone up so much. Have you had any significant birthday in the last year?

Shock this morning £ 255 more than last year.
2017 2.3 autotrail comanche s tagg.inc breakdown eu.View attachment 69099

https://www.caravanguard.co.uk/ Been with them for over 10 years. 2014 [late chausson welcome, i'm 69m wife 65, European cover, with breakdown, change out of £400. Very friendly and helpful.

This year I decided to try NFU insurance figuring that lots of farmers are still driving at 90. So I hope that when I get to 80 they will still insure me. They gave me a reasonable price, and taking into consideration they don't require a Tracker with £150 a year monitoring, they were cheaper than most motorhome insurers.

 

[GMJ]

My Safeguard insurance went up to £482 this year as I had a claim earlier in the year. 2017 tag axle Comanche with full breakdown included also no tracker required.

 

[wilfyboy@hotmail.com]

Ours is with driver guardian same price as last year £265 for 2007 6.5mtr moho. Ace Airstream.

 

[davidjlambert]

My renewal was over £100 more expensive than last year.
On comparison sites using exactly the same info I got a quote £40 cheaper than last year.

And who is it? The same company!!!!!!

81 And with NFU

Mine with Flux went up this year to £600, double that of last year. I went to a Motorhome comparison website and got the same cover for £260. Pays to shop around. Being a loyal customer gets you nothing.
