my car insurance with LV jumped from around £290 to £nearly £700. When I asked why they said it was aged related and that was the best they could do, I am just coming up to 75years old.

shopped around and now insured for £300 for the same policy, Insurance is a complete joke, no wonder a lot do not bother.

I was also with LV and my car insurance jumped by 50% this month. Many other insurers were even more expensive. But surprise, surprise CMC were significantly cheaper. Exactly the same has happened with my house insurance with LV and I reinsured with Nationwide again at significantly less cost I’ve been with LV for many years have always found them to be reasonable, I cannot understand why they are making such significant across the board increases.

I'm afraid my attitude is one strike and you're out. If I find a cheaper quote I don't give my last insurer a 2nd chance to "match" they should have given me the best quote in the 1st place. LV , who I was with for years, tried a massive increase last year, Aviva quoted half of that, you can guess who got my business

Ditto, car insurance was with Saga, too be fair they were brilliant when we had to claim. Last year £300, this year they wanted over £700, only way to get the premium down to £400 was to have a £1000 voluntary excess. Went to CMC, like for like totalled £300, guess who we went with. Interestingly C&CC wanted £500. Who’d have thought the CMC would be cheaper than the comparison websites?

Best quote I got was still £150 more and no windscreen cover ! told it was age related

What is ironic is that last year our insurance with LV went down!

Putting a younger low risk person on your insurance can reduce your premium. I put my daughter on in case I was ever incapacitated and it worked.
