They've done it with me for the last two years, always at least £300+ than what they quote online, they must get away with it with some people who don't bother looking...

Yep, a lot of people don't bother shopping around when it comes to renewal so they just bump it up and hope for the best.

I'm with Flux, they quoted me £1100 to insure my car on renewal. Phoned them up and got it down to £800.

Makes me laugh this, how can you be a 'loyal customer' and be with 1 company for X amount of years if you have to cancel current, and go as a 'new customer'.

So you are paying more insurance each year than the value of the car?

Buying a much newer and much better car would more than likely be cheaper to insure.

Indeed it Probly would Nic, but I'm saving for a house at the moment, so all cash going towards that. Hence me driving a "beater car"

I had this with Admiral too, phoned them and it dropped drastically.

Ended up with zurich though as admiral couldnt match them.

Admiral did the same on a 5 car policy. Which from a business point of view is understandable. They were still the cheapest but when they are looking at 6ks worth or business they knocked near enough 600 of what was a originally 6.7k renewall and and beat last years by 400.

Creeping up each year for me. Was paying £290.00 and now costing me £900.00 No accidents, no points... Declared business use.

I've had to move my NCBs about as well from my company car as Gemma's renewal was coming in at £1500.00 at the age of 24 with 3 points. That's now down to £750.00. See what it comes back as when she's 25. I'd rather her not be on my insurance

Boils my blood as we know why insurance is on the up...

Had this recently with directline, rang them up and started asking the usual awkward questions.

Said, so basically youre penalising me for being a loyal customer. He said no im just taking advantage of a loop hole in their site to gain introductory discounts.

but it's not a loophole as every other site is cheaper than the renewal price also

insurance people are ridiculous.

Also, weirdly My Mrs Insurance quote was identical between an 08 1.2 Fiesta and an 07 Plate TT FSI

I think they just pluck figures out thin air!

I was cheaper to insure my 06 plate golf valued at £12k with a 3.2ltr engine than I was for my currant Leon with a 1.8 and valued at £4.5k lol. Makes no sense.
