Why has my premium increased after changing my address?
When you change your address, your underwriter looks at a number of factors including:
- The frequency of claims in the area.
- Average claim costs for the area.
- Volumes of traffic and main roads.
- Any vehicle related crimes.
- How close the new area is to a city centre.
These factors help the insurer provide accurate quotes based on the new information.
For example, if you've moved from the countryside to the middle of a busy city centre, this may be considered a higher risk and could increase the price of your insurance.
