my advice is ring them and see if they could do any better just say you like being with them but you have had a slightly better quote and see what they say. Rik

Its gone up a lot more than that for me. I've been with Direct Line for 4 years and its gone up every time, 4 years NCD too. I sent them a nasty letter along the lines of:

'No wonder you're not on any price comparison websites, you would be bottom of the list every time'

and

'Why not stop paying Stephen Fry et al so much money and bring the premiums down to a realistic amount instead'


I also showed them the 'disloyalty to long standing customers' card, then went to Swift Cover for about 500pa less. I'm done with em

The 03 Elite was something like £190. FC with PNCD. Sadly thats with Admiral.

[Sixstring]

Tried that with Admiral....amazing what can be done when they want to keep a long-standing customer............picked a number out of the air under what they wanted for renewal, and they beat it by a quid!!

It cost me some £650 to insure the 2.5TD this year; and that's with mirroring my (12 years) NCB from the other car (which also costs £650, but then it is putting out double the standard power with a list of modifications as long as my arm) ..

The car only cost me £950!

It's a lottery, I reckon. They just stick a pin in a list of numbers..

Hi guys
My insurance is due for renewal beginning of next month we are with direct line,have 7yrs ncb and no convictions etc..The renewal is £11 a month more than last year ..I have had a look online and have still got silly prices..Any of you guys got a good deal anywhere?

When mine was renewed in march several insurance companies told me that all car insurance had gone up by around 20% this year due to all the claims good and false ! 

[YZ250]

Had to leave Churchill today after being with them for about twenty years. I've got maximum NCB as I've never claimed and have got no convictions against me.

The reason:
I fessed up to my stainless exhaust and was told they would not cover me in the event of a claim and would not insure the vehicle with it on the car as it was modified. :-/ :-/
Thats after twenty years with them, I'm now with Admiral and even with declaring the stainless exhaust to them I'm paying £199 Fully Comp annually for my 03 3.2 Elite so I'm now paying £100 less than when I was with Churchill (I'm 48 & do under 5000 miles per year in this vehicle).
The lady at Churchill admitted that there is no point in being loyal to a company as they are more interested in offering discount for 'new' custom.
