According to “Motorists Advised to Challenge Renewal Costs” by Tim O’Brien of the Irish Times, drivers just may benefit from raising questions to their insurance providers. Some companies have 18% service charges in addition to 14% increases in the policy cost each year. It’s up for debate whether these charges are really necessary.
Insurance companies blame cost increases on their rising costs, however this article points out that the statistics from the Irish garda (police) actually showed a very safe year of driving with one of the lowest mortality rates on record. As worldwide general prices fell, insurance costs for many were still increasing. Compare car insurance rates with many companies and challenge your current company if they are automatically raising rates and adding costs.
