Unhappy Insurance Companies Prices ! ?

I think its safe to say we all hate insurance, but its there for a reason and we accept that.

Insurnce these days is bumped up by all the little oiks who don't pay then cause carnage by hitting other people who have got it, we don't like it but we begrudgingly accept that too.

What i can't get over though is how they come up with their prices???

I've just done a quote online with my current insurer, for a car i'm looking to buy in Jan. The quote is okish, about what I expected give or take but I've had a play around with it to see where I can maybe save some cash.

Keeping the car on the drive instead of kerbside saved about £30
Adding my other half saved another £35-40(despite her picking up 3 points since last renewal time)

All good so far you say...

Add a tracker to the factory alarm/immobiliser...adds £76???
Move the car from the drive into the garage and it adds £85?????

So by securing the car better and making it easier to recover should the worst happen my insurance co. will thank me by relieving me of an additional £160!
