LV are not insuring my Dacia Duster, why is this?
My wife has bought a 2021 Dacia Duster Bi Fuel but on advising LV, our insurers, we were told they will not insure the car. No explanation. We had to try elsewhere at a much higher premium, yet the car reviews show good reliability, high driver satisfaction and now highly recommended by the motoring media.
LV no longer insuring those of us who are 80 years of age. My wife moved to AA insurance paying an extra £400 with a reminder also that there is no insurance at 80yrs. We are in our late 70s. What is going on? I had been told to expect a lower insurance premium for a Dacia.

The insurance group that a vehicle is placed in will offer a degree of guidance towards the cost of insuring the vehicle based on all other factors being equal, but at the same time it does account for any particular weighting that an individual insurer will apply to a vehicle based on their own data. Insurers will use their own information to provide a quote based on multiple risk factors, which is why providing the same information to a range of insurers will result in a variety of premiums.
It is likely that the respective age of you and your wife is limiting the number of insurers that are willing to provide a quote, so we would suggest shopping around as much as possible and using price comparison sites to obtain as many quotes as possible.

I was rear ended while sitting stationary. Why then am I penalised with higher premiums ?
To insure our Fiat 500C last year was £209 but this year the lowest quote anywhere is £354. That's with no changes or claims. Please can you explain this 70% increase?
My Toyota Yaris Cross insurance is due for renewal in May and I have received the reminder and although there have been no changes it has risen by £80? I have read that electric cars are being written...
