Hi Harold, That is quite an increase! Insurance prices have increased across the board over the last year or two, but regarding your specific policy, we can’t provide personal advice as we’re a review and comparison site. We recommend you contact Westpac directly. If you’re unhappy with your premium, it’s a good idea to shop around for a better deal – the difference between the cheapest car insurance policy and the most expensive one on our panel is over $1000, so there is a big difference. It’s worth shopping around!
