Also a bad time of year to renew, possibly worth getting insured for 6 months and then renew again, extra cost now might get ofset with cheaper in 6 months.  Worked in my favour a few years ago.

Mine shot up this year, so I shopped around and was very surprised that Aviva came out cheapest at £299.

Up £11 over four vehicles for us, (all mods declared).

My broker was most apologetic, although truth be told, no-one else could get anywhere close. (£730 ish)

saved about £15 on last year, with mods declared

chances are, they'll hike again next year, after this winter's inevitable claim increase

Once you've got your quote that you like and before you purchase it, just check out www.quidco.co.uk. They give you cash back for going through them to the site you was on.

My wife had a Volvo 940 2.3. Cost £191 for the year, went to Quidco and got £100 cash back. Not bad insuring a car for £91 per annum. There are people on money saving expert forums who actually get such great deals they have the insurance companies pay them. For minimum effort its well worth looking into!!!
