Insurance renewal cheaper than last year

Renewal just received , 9% cheaper than last year. Presumably lower travel over the past year has resulted in fewer claims and therefore lower premiums. Will still get a comparative quote , as broker says it will beat any better price.

we will have to see how insurance renewal premiums are affected this year with new guidence coming in.

one phone call in mid December to my car insurance provider stating that I was not about to automatically renew as they wanted £60 more and with a quick comparison check I could get it far cheaper.
Asked what source, company, exact quote amount £30 less than 2021 premium...."yes Sir we can match that, please stay with us"
Job done and will see next year if loyalty matters for anything.

Hi what company do you use?  


Judging by your posts you seem to know what what's what!

Adrian Flux (with Highway Insurance). Discount for forum members. I do a comparison check every year and never get a cheaper quote , that of course is for my details and may not apply to everyone. I limit mileage to 5k and me as only driver, also have protected ncb (same premium as non-protected but higher excess figures).

Well, here’s a turn up for the books. Our renewal came today and the premium is £200 less than last year!

Twelve months ago we had the Warwick and now have the Pulsar but they’re similar value and on exactly the same Fiat auto base vehicle.

Fearing it was an error which would catch up with us eventually, we rang the office to be told the insurance company - NFU - has reviewed its prices because it found it was losing business to cheaper insurers. Our renewal is £242 for a 2021 vehicle with enhanced RAC cover, 2 drivers, 10k mileage allowance and protected NCD. I’m well pleased.  

That's almost exactly the same as mine except I don't get breakdown cover. I think I should've waited until the new year before renewing (I renewed it around 29th but renewal wasn't due until 8th ) as the new rules regarding different prices for new business came into effect and may have had an impact on prices ,

I’ve never known NFU to play the new business game so I don’t think that affected my renewal. They were never the cheapest insurer but the cover is good and I can’t fault their handling of the claim we made on our car policy.

My car insurance was due on the 1st of January and was about a fiver less than last year.

When the Motorhome insurance is due I will be checking prices to ensure I get the best deal

However not only was their quote 10% up on last year, but also the compulsory excess had risen to £500. So I've changed to another company, same cover in every respect, 30% lower premium and only £100 excess.
It does pay to shop around.

Would you mind passing on your new Company? I am in the same boat as with Saga. I have my concerns about Adrian Flux though.

Hoping that my insurance is going to drop this year, we changed van's mid term last year and it was an eye watering increase even though we activated the tracker.

I could of course cancelled and gone elsewhere.

I will shop around I have tried these motorhome comparison sites but they come back as the dearest every time I try them.

Sheila's Wheels along with Direct Line are part of Esure group. It's quite amazing you owns what in the insurance world. If you don't like your renewal quote and shop around, the chances are you will go with another company in the same group. This makes good reading to find who owns what, even the comparison sites are owned by insurance groups......

No problem Richard, it's Sheilas' Wheels. I've never had dealings with them before, they came as a recommendation from a friend.

Thank you.
