Like many others on this site I have just experienced a large increase in my Lexus UX insurance renewal premium. Budget Insurance increased the amount from around £300 last January to over £500 so having done my annual price comparisons I’m now with a slightly more competitive premium with Ageas (via Quidco Compare). Having many years experience working in Personal Lines Insurance (motor, home, travel etc) it appears there has been a huge increase in all insurance premiums in the past 10 months. The significant increased car insurance costs on Lexus models are no worse than any other motor manufacturers. I accept car repair costs have increased but dare I suggest there may be a cartel across all the larger insurance companies to agree to implement this huge increase across the board?

Thanks for your input. I don’t want to get into a political debate on the increasing median age of Lexus drivers or the environment but maybe the latter is partly why I dive a hybrid car 🤔. There are many areas in the country you can’t access Wi-Fi when required, especially if you’re driving in the countryside.

Thanks for the link, much appreciated. It’s really more a point of principle. Lexus are cost cutting by not automatically providing a User Guide unlike there ever increasing service charges.

Having just upgraded my ‘69 plate Lexus UX to the latest model UX it is disappointing to note that Lexus no longer provide a User Handbook. I expect this cost cutting exercise from lesser brands but this is pretty poor customer service from such a top rated motor manufacturer.
