Resident   1,195 #13 Posted June 1, 2022 My renewal came through at the start of the year, more that it was last year.  I called them as I'd found it over 1/3 cheaper elsewhere with identical cover.  Called to cancel the renewal and the guy looked at the price and said "I can see why you're cancelling. Can I have a minute to check this first?"  Came back 5 mins later with a new price, half the cost of the previous year.  He explained that renewals are calculated by software and it doesn't always get it right.

I pay $900/year for full coverage on my 2016 Corvette Z51 3LT, The iX is going to cost $5000. Are any of you getting similar quotes? This isnt an American site, mate.

spilldig   190 #16 Posted January 9, 2023 I had my quote last month. It had gone from £300 to £480. 6 years no claims. I rang them up and she said, "Havn't you heard of inflation?"  I said, yes but not 50%+ in one year. I changed to a new insurer at £290.

alchresearch   215 #17 Posted January 10, 2023 The only company I've found to not ramp renewals up is Aviva. They're clear on the renewal how much it was the previous year.  And when I price compare I always get Aviva as the cheapest - at the same price (or a little more) as their renewal. So I've been with them for 3 years now.  Sadly I guess one insurer isn't always great for everyone.
