Accident-free, yes. Cheaper insurance, no

EARLIER this year you reported that car insurance premiums would be coming down. I’m sure the insurance companies were happy for you to say this and we all had reason to feel pleased as premiums were too high.

Much else has been written about falling premiums this year, and I’ve even read that the companies were being told to reduce them.

Imagine my surprise then to find that my premium has gone up by 30% to over €1,300.
