Just renewed ours for the fourth year running with quotemehappy.com - every year they have been the most competitive price, but don't find them on the comparison sites.

Went directly with Co-op in the end, much the cheapest. Thanks for all replies. Quotemehappy was over £700.

Asked Octogon for the reason for the increase "an insurer has pulled out of the UK market" or so they said. They won't be getting much business if all premiums have increased so much!

Glad you got it sorted in the end. Just out of interest I'd love to know what you paid in the end.

£548 is a lot better than the original renewal quote isn't it. My original CC quote gave me 180 days of foreign cover which I don't need so I added up to 90 days foreign cover, legal assistance and enhanced courtesy car to the Aviva policy and still saved over £100.

Insurance premium is very much dependant on where you live. A rural area will usually be much cheaper than an urban area. Prices will also vary depending on the town or city you live in as well.

I was with Direct Line, they quoted £350 this year for just my car alone. In the end we insured both cars and still paid a good deal less than £350.

I guess you could reverse that free. Probably anybody with the insurer you are with now would have found their renewal premium had rocketed & probably gone with Direct Line for cheaper. It's mostly how the market works & provided you go with the market then it will work for you.

So very true ... a couple of years ago a friend of mine that lives near Manchester got a quote for his Honda Goldwing .. then he got another quote with everything exactly the same apart from he used my address and it was half the cost.

I`ve been with Churchill ins for years, £195.00 fully comp.For a 2.8 Shogun. When i get a renewal notice, i always ring back and say i have had a quote £8o.00 cheaper. They have always come back with a Quote about 20.00 cheaper than the renewal Quote. Happy Days☺
