Renewal arrived today - drop of £50 on the Scirocco (almost nudged below £200 which includes protected NCD and breakdown cover) and a drop of £30 on the Elgrand.
Boat insurance also arrived and that dropped by £50 too.
Nice to have when all we ever hear of is big price increases.

Below £200....I wish!
Although mine has come down a lot over the last few years, I was well over £1,000 but last year it had dropped to £682. Just had my renewal through this morning, £651 so going in the right direction but a quick check online showed a couple of polices at £598/£599 and my current provider at £603. Went onto their online chat and they offered £548.72. A little annoyed that I didn't get their best price first time around, but it's much less hassle to stick and it saves £50 over moving so I'm not that annoyed!
I do think that's a pretty good price when you take into account the theft risk, £75k value, 20k miles a year and full business use for both of us.

The Elgrand dropped to £293 which I was still pleased with considering there's four named drivers in their early 30's on it and that also includes protected NCD and breakdown cover. It's no where near worth £75k though  |

Aren't there new rules now that state they must give you their best price on renewal - i.e. the same price they would give a new customer (even though they beat that in the end) |

Indications are that my younger daughter is in fora nice surprise with her renewal too, despite being involved in the cash-for-crash scam.
She paid over £1000 last year; renewal is at the end of this month and on the Meerkat site she's looking at under £700, and with a decent, reputable company (not Admiral or one of its offshoots again)

My Benz insurance renewal has come through at £291, compared to £329 last year. Glad to see at least something is coming down in price.

My renewal came through last week, an increase of 50% from £400ish to £600ish, which is just not cricket, even with 3 recent points for speeding. The Meerkats chucked me an offer of £380 with Sheila's Wheels, so a 10 minute call back to Hastings to explain that I wouldn't be accepting their renewal and I got it down to equal footing. Now I don't have to change, send off no-claims and generally piss around. That's 4 years now with the same insurer, must be a record for me.

I've looked at Sheila's Wheels in the past but didn't fancy the hassle of the accompanying sex change.
