Renewals dont often offer the most competitive quotes you have to shop around. Try money supermarket or go compare. I am with swiftcover.

I'm with admiral and every year my renewal comes in at pretty much what I paid last year - do a new quote online (which is normally quite a bit cheaper) and then ring up to get them to match it.

They're all the same, just get some other quotes and ring them and the price will come down :)

Just got a quote with Adrian Flux £490 unlimited miles, value for 8K and NCB protected....not bad

I believe most renewal quotes are a try on. You can get a better quote from the same company by applying on-line. Best to shop around all others. Insurance costs are pretty hefty these days.

I had the same problem recently.

I’m 26 with 5 NCB, and I went from £450 FC last year and a renewal of £750 this year. First I shopped around and the best I found was £430 FC, but I was still unimpressed with this as it was only £20 cheaper, but that was the best price I could find with the extra covers that I wanted.

When I called my insurance company to see if they could match that price they couldn’t so I had to leave.

I even spoke to the guys at Sky ( the LOC’s sponsors), who have always been really good at competing with prices said that all insurance premiums have raised, and couldn’t match my quote.

Depending on what other things Adrian Flux covers, that quote seems pretty good to me !

That doesn’t seem to be a very good price at all.
That is almost as expensive as PhillP’s renewal quote, which he didn’t want to pay.

Plus Direct Line are a very bad insurance company. If you ever have to use them, they will give you more hassle than what the issue is worth. I’ve heard so many stories of how much problems people have had with them, including myself.

It was the best price I could get, partner was 24 when I took the policy out with 1years NC and I was 23 with 2years NC, never had any problems with DL, lost my job few months ago and thus couldnt make a payment, they were very accomodating and put payment on hold for the month and then let me pay it a month later. I know loads of people with them who seem to find them ok. I was with Churchill and then Hastings who were ***** to say the least!!

All other companies I got quotes from were in the region of £900-£1200. I had an accident 3 years ago which doesnt help, plus when I got quotes companies wouldnt insure my partner on the policy for some strange reason.

Ah fair enough. I assumed you guys were older than that.

Plus I never liked Direct Line, after I had problems with them several years ago, and I still hear from posts like these one where others say the same thing.
