Because it was on the radio then it MUST be true... so are they increasing because of brexit specifically or is it just something that insurance companies do year on year anyway?
And when a50 gets scrubbed....will they decrease insurance prices? |

Have we brexited yet ? Don't think we have, have we? so the additional costs for administering changes that Brexit will bring about hasn't happened yet so they haven't been factored into premiums yet.
It's funny how a lot of people will take the word as gospel from someone who has little knowledge of what their talking about like Moggy and Farage over say WTO yet pour scorn on others who's professional field of work is the subject at hand |

I don't take anyone's word for anything....now if you're a big hitter in the insurance business then i'll accept that because of brexit specifically insurance premiums are set to rise under your advanced knowledge of the business.
I don't take the word of any politician...let alone farage or his kin |

That's OK, Pat will be along soon to tell us that the 10th consecutive fall of car sales as reported by the SMMT is a good thing somehow. And that he knows better than they do, when they say no-deal will drop another 30% and bring it down to the levels in the 1980s.
I've got to call my car insurance for a renewal this week... wonder what price will be. I know they have contacted me about getting a green card, and I had to apply for one as was due to be driving in the EU when we were due to come out. So there no doubt has already been cost there in additional processes.

This was from Apr '19
Due to stamping out bogus claims, premiums have apparently fallen by £100.

I thought that it was recognised a couple of years ago that the market for car sales was flooded with new vehicles and it was inevitable that the market would peak.
Most manufacturers and dealerships have cut their clothe accordingly. |

Like Honda closing Swindon, Jaguar building in the EU, Nissin stopping production of models. All of these businesses have been impacted by Brexit, yes there are also other macro economic issues, but I’m not seeing German car manufacturers closing... |

Well done, I think this is in addition to the standard yearly increase but I know you know that. |

JLR are only moving some proud tion abroad to free up capacity fit a new model to be produced in the UK. VAG are having a tough time in Germany .
Bexit can hardly even enter the equation. A more immediate problem might be a possible mis selling scandal relating to leased vehicles which will have made dealerships more cautious |

Even if this was true the increase would be so small it would be unnoticeable.
A much bigger issue is insurance fraud. Maybe Brexit is just a convenient excuse for her. |

Why would it be an excuse, excuse for what exactly, they don't sell the insurance, they are a comparison site silly |

Hmmm, then JLRs losses, shutdowns & admission that Brexit is at fault don’t count? |

Hi. Maybe when you made the post you should have specificaly stated the people should only comment if their view related to the the activities of a comparison site as opposed to the activities of an insurance company .
I would think that to most members the distinction is irrelevant.
I guess that silly is your favourite word as it seems to feature a lot in your posts. |

No they using brexit as an excuse to push price up and make more money. How the UK carries out trade has little to do with this matter. O we got a green card from our insurance company cost a stamp and a sheet of paper. |

Brexit under Mrs Mays list of pre demands from the EU, she calls a deal will mean EU criminals can not be taken to a UK court and rip of UK doors will be forced open by Mays /EU demands which dont even show us what the EU trade demands are going to be. If the EU are serious about a fare deal why not show us what the trade deal will be? |

Selling insurance is exactly what insurance comparison sites do! "
An explanation of comparison websites...
Comparison websites do not sell products themselves, they show you details and prices from insurers and make their money in a number of ways:
They get paid from advertising which appears on their site.
From ‘click-throughs’ where the site earns commission when a customer clicks through to the insurer’s website and buys a product.
Some sites earn money from sponsored listings, where companies pay to have their products appear at the top of the search results.
So no, comparison websites do not sell insurance, they are not insurance brokers. |

The comparison site company CEO was talking about car insurance in general no matter how or where you purchased the policy that prices will go up because of Brexit.
I think she knows far more about the knock on effects of the car insurance industry than me and obviously to an even higher degree than you silly

You're right, car insurance has little to do with "trade" but the administration will be higher after brexit and will push up costs the comparison CEO stated.
This radio interview wasn't even about Brexit though, it was a question posed to her at the end of the article if Brexit will affect car insurance.
It's funny how leavers get their knickers in such a twist when an industry specialist claims the decision to Brexit will lead to price rises

Was it really, the head of an insurance company telling the radio audience to use Confused. Com instead of their own company?
You maybe heard a different station to me. |

Being charged the earth because you're loyal and what costs Brexit will develop for the industry which hasn't happened yet are 2 totally different things |

To be fair you said it was an excuse for her when it was an excuse for the insurance companies themselves.
Interesting the civil liabilities act is due next year which caps whiplash payments and so will help reduce insurance fraud. So it's an issue which has already been looked at. Another fun fact is it started on the HoL. |
