Its been going like this for years for me. Been driving for 7years and never kept the same insurance company.

Same with house insurance.

Just been getting quotes for a new Tiguan 140bhp diesel , ranging from £748 to 1200 my insurance last year was £495 for the GTD , WTF is going on in this country talk about rip off Briton really bloody annoying , your views guys ?   

I frigging hate the adverts but have you tried these insurance comparison websites?

They saved me a few quid. Maybe worth a try.

i work for an insurance company and tbh the renewal are always double better off (as crazy as it is) to canx and start a new one, get new customer discount etc etc

new customer get better deals than loyal ones! go figure or as most do . . . .go compare

I have a broker who charges £30 and does all the leg work for me, well worth it as when my insurance is due they simply send me a letter with a massive list of prices and highlight the best one

I usually go through the comparison lists on here http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/compare-cheap-car-insurance

What normally happens is I get sh1te quotes on the comparison sites or they're not as good as they first looked when you click them, then I get inundated for a couple of days from Brokers who will then discount further from the price on the comparison site. Bit of a pain in the @rse but it's worked quite well for the last couple of years. The phone calls stop after your renewal date has passed so just stay with it. It's worth answering the calls though as some can do it cheaper and if they don't you just start the call with unless you can beat XXX don't bother carrying on with the call.

Having said that, I'm going to give serious consideration to Directline this year due to the fact that they will pay out if an uninsured driver hits you as this seems quite common these days.

Good point there Gibby about the uninsured drivers, on that basis alone got to be worth a shout

Well heres my insurance rant. I rang to put in a claim on house insurance last year, drain collapsed and there company put in an invoice of 950, neighbour was payin half so we decided to get it done ourselves and told insurance company we're payin ourselves so cancel claim. But renewal time conescomes and im told because a company put in an invoice for 950 then its classed as a claim, even tho no money was paid out, and ive lost my 5 years no claims! Sheer madness!

Still managed to get a much cheaper renewal tho
