It's interesting to compare UK car insurance premiums with the US.

I received a renewal notice for my insurance on Friday.

Next year's premium will be £250 for fully comprehensive insurance, ie third party liability and repairs to my vehicle if damaged in an accident.

To be realistic the car (1992) is worth £0, so just the third party insurance would probably be adequate but it's doubtful that the premium would be reduced by very much.

My declared estimated annual mileage is 5,000 so that will have helped to keep costs down but I actually only do about 1,000.

Last year's premium was £226, so a 10%+ increase.

Heaven knows what I'd pay if I had a half decent newish car.

BTW £1.00 = $1.26
