Heh I used to look forward to being 25 and getting "cheap" insurance. Now it looks like I get to look forward to being 30.

Well, when I turned 30 my premium didn't drop, only increased slightly like it does every year

(BTW I pay about $350-$400 with Shannons for agreed value, no off-street parking in a busy area for the Mk1)

Yeah, it's dodgy as all hell how some people have new GTI's, modified insured for bigger $$ and still pay less than me in the a Mk3

And yeah, under 25 changed to under 30 in the last year or so, sucks.

You seem to have forgotten some very pertinent information :

Insurance companies only exist to :

1 Pay high salaries and bonuses to their executives and directors, and

2 Maximise profits for shareholders

(and yes, I believe I got the order correct).

Unfortunately they are not there to give us cheap (or even reasonably priced) insurance for our cars.

So if they want to charge "too much" the only thing you can do is see if someone else offers better insurance (remember the premium is only one of many important factors to consider when buying insurance, and the cover you get will suddenly be far more important than how much it cost you if you ever do make a claim).
