Post by: Mysteryman on 11 October 2010, 21:03:01: I reckon this problem (for us) is industry-wide. Every time I get my renewal notice I ring up, have a little haggle, get some knocked off and then accept the price.
This year, on both policies, the quotes were about £70 higher. I rang the ins companies up, only to be met with a brick wall...no reduction. I said I would ring around and get back. Ok, do that! Couldn't find anything that was equivalent cheaper, so had to pay up :(

BTW, some of the price hikes I've read about on here are ridiculous. Both of mine went from around £280 to £340/50, not rather £700. :o
