Insurance pricing is a statically model not a an exact science.
If the policy has doubled it probably means your carrier is not interested in holding your specific type of risk. (probably their noon is oversubscribed with people like you)
Isnaurance works on having a diverse portfolio of risks. Think of them as like bookies.
They are not trying to back the winner they are trying to cut a slice out of the spread.
Tldr your insurance companies does not want you.
Look elsewhere. |

5% annual premium uplift is the industry standard.
So think if half the portfolio is like you an gets a discount.
The rest of the policies holders have to swallow a larger increase than 5%.
Insurance tax has also gone up from a flat 5% across the board to 12 and 20%. The Tories keep increasing this as a stealth car tax
There is a lot more to insurance pricing that just bashing some details into a search engine.
But a 100% increase is a sign of pay up or get lost.
I guess op there is something about your policies that doesn't sit with that insurers current economic strategy or it is over subscribed in their current portfolio. |

Insurance companies are a joke, they hope people just accept over priced renewals.
As suggested check a few comparison sites, phone your existing company.
Tell them your gonna leave as you've seen cheaper online and 80% of the time they will match or come close |

Most insurance companies are licensed bandits. |
