after being in a non fault claim this week i'm wondering are the insurers likely to gouge me for the next 5 years because of this?


i'm thinking about claiming off the other party for possible increases in futur insurance or am i being stupid here?


nm just ran a quote on compare the market.com

mr average sdp and commuting on a vectra diesel (ie mine without taxiing)
12000 miles a year for me only driver

no accidents mentioned- admiral quote me £682.70
1 accident mentioned non fault admiral quote me £881.15

29% loading of my premium through no fault of my own,

why should i be £200 a year worse off?


bear in mind thats just for a normal sdp and commuting policy

atm i hold a normaly policy for my day to day car and a private hire policy which will no doubt be similarly hiked

anyone have any thoughts?

Never been an issue with me.

However some folks, rightly or wrongly, going through those claims firms, never tell their insurance company that there has been a non-fault accident in the first place.

Yes they do take into consideration it has to be a cleared non fault before your premium is due and if you have more than one in a 5 year period they load your premium
