Check this out. My insurance running out soon, so as I have said on here before, spot of online shopping. Got new quote for only ?485.

Imagine my suprise this morning when I get my renewal letter from my current insurance.......................they want ?987!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for that I get less than my new company, higher excess, higher windscreen excess, they have scrapped me driving any persons car.

Pays to shop around and not stick to one company every year.

Cant believe that means I have had my ZS for a year now, will have to buy him a present..........

I have never once gone with a renewal quote, unless i was happy with them and they could beat i quote i got elsewhere. My renewal was 1535 pounds. Got it for 870 in the end with admiral. It does pay to have a look around!

I used to go to an insurace broker, stayed with him for 10 years always stayed with the same company and thought, no claims must mean something.

Then I tried Direct Line, was about half what I was paying, now every year I shop around and nearly always have taken out ins with a new company.

Cant see how it works, your already set up in your existing company, can see your past record, but means nought.

I paid ?345 with full no claims on a mk2 180, this year.I tried to shop around but nobody even came close, managed to get them down from ?395 as well.That was with Aviva.

Insurance has gone stupid ..... and I dont know if you guys are aware but every time you ask for a quote ,most insurance companys now credit check you .....even if your paying it all as a lump sum.....if you get a lot of quotes you,l get credit checked a lot , this shows up on your credit file and can ( will) affect any application you may make ( for a car on HP or a credit card ) etc.

Bl00dy Hell !!!!

Got a renewal through for the chug along - ?415 !!! - Chr1st ! I'm 40 have never made a claim and live in a decent area. god only knows what it would have been with a 180.

Apparently premiums have seen a rise of around 40%. Time to "go compare"
