I paid €3,995 for my insurance. I had a claim. It was supposed to go up by a third, but it doubled and that was the only insurance company that would take me. First of all the car was too old. I had to buy an ’08 just to get insured.

My car insurance last year cost me €450 fully comprehensive. This year they wanted €1,050 third party, fire and theft. After two days on the phone and two days loss of earnings, I finally got it third party. I’m 43 years old. I have had no crashes. They said I did not fit the criteria. People who are self-employed seem to be ripped off a lot more.

We moved over from Australia two years ago. My husband and I had been driving in Australia for 20 years. None of the insurance companies would accept that I had a no claims bonus so we had to start from scratch again when we moved over. My insurance premium has risen from €950 to €1,600 despite having no claims.
