Safe to say there is no such thing as customer loyalty.. Been with my car insurance company since i learnt to drive, renewal quote came through as more expensive than what i pay currently. Checked it out online and its just over £100 cheaper
still a 10min phone call and im now saving £9 a month.. 
Makes you wonder how many people just accept the automatic renewal |

I changed insurer last year. Been with the same company since I put the car back on the road in 2010 (which was the same company i'd been insuring it with since I first got it back in 2003)
Last year the price almost doubled.
Bye bye.
I have to use specialist insurers as I don't drive something 'normal' so can't use the likes of Direct Line, Churchill etc or even the comparison sites. |

Had the same last year
Plus all the extras they try and get you to take...
'Mis-fuelling insurance can we add that for you?
No thank you
May I ask why you think you don't need it?'
I have a diesel, other car in household a diesel, car before a diesel, company car before that a diesel....are you seeing a pattern here? If I haven't got the hang of picking diesel by now am f*cked' |

Just had renewals for bike and breakdown cover. Auto renewal price £300 for both. Checked out competition prices, two phone calls and paid £200. Silly not to! |

Never accept a renewal quote from your existing insurance company for anything.
As a 'new' customer you'll get a better deal - retention targets are smaller than new business ones.
Go online and search, and pretend to be new with your existing provider.
If you use a certain comparison site you can also then flog the stupid meerkat on eBay and make more money!

I'm actually beginning to wonder if the insurance industry as a whole have been shitting themselves over the past year or so because of the government wanting to crack down on the industry and rising premiums - caused largely by an exponential rise in personal injury claims.
Maybe they're thinking that the game is almost up, so let's make a bundle before we're rumbled. |
