I recently tried to cancel my insurance on the mighty and highly desirable Signum. There was 3 full months remaining.
Policy only cost £135, so a refund for 3 months came to £33.75. :y
Then they informed me about the £50 early exit charge. :-X
They just can't help themselves. :-X

Any advantage in using the comparison sites apps over the website? :-\
I've used booking.com and Agoda quite a lot recently to book flights and accommodation, and sometimes the prices are better on the apps than the website. :)

I have a regular habit now come a month before the renewal date. I get a string of quotes through from the likes of Confused.com, then with the cheapest go back to my regular insurance broker, The AA, who by then have always put through a quote higher than from the comparison web sites, strictly taking in benefits, excess etc. The AA then at least match the cheapest/best benefits quote after some calculating. Works a treat! ;D ;)

My wife’s renewal arrived a couple of days ago. Surprisingly it’s £30 cheaper than last years renewal. :)
-
As i turned 80 last year i was expecting to get shafted on the renewal last month. It actually went down this year, but only because i changed to another company, as the one i was with wanted double last years premium. >:( Bloody thieves.

Wifes car insurance is due at the end of the month, been on compare the market, cheapest £255 dearest £1204.00 how on earth can they vary so much but on paper provide exactly the same cover.
The boring answer is that insurance companies look for a variety of risk categories to build a book of business. Some high risk high premium, some low risk, low premium.
The £1000+ means the insurer doesn't want your wife's level of risk. A bit like asking a busy builder to quote you on a job.

Received the renewal invitation today from Carol Nash £199.32 ! That's a good result under £200 can't believe it, after hearing the horror stories some people are telling about motor insurance.

Mine was over £500 for the astra last year. It's a combination of my age and my postcode.

But I remember you posting last year that you weren't bothered about going with a big name, nor wanting all the bells and whistles.
I seem to remember that Go Skippy was about £280, might try someone like that this year.

Yes that's for the Range Rover simply because of its age I know it would be written off as long as it's legal that's all I want, out of interest I've just had a look and Tesco would insure it for £270 fully comp.

Paid the insurance on the Toyota yesterday had one last check on the comparison site and eventually went with Tesco £40 more but includes absolutely everything + feedback was slightly higher than Carol Nash.
