Why is the insurance on my old car so high?
I've a 2004 Suzuki Alto and the insurance quotes are insane. Seven times what I paid for the car. I've been driving 11 years with no claims or convictions, although I haven't got any No Claims Bonus because, for the last three years, I've driven hire cars.
