Insurance Renewal I Don’t Get It!!

It’s that time of year again.

Go Compare’s cheapest was £110 cheaper than my present insurer. Thought I’d try Compare The Market, they’re cheapest was £120 more expensive than Go Compare Shocked

Got a quote from Elephants own sight which was £110 dearer than Go Compare’s price for Elephant Confused

Do they make it up as they go along? Discovery 4 HSE

Excesses were all pretty similar and the cheapest company was a name I recognised Very Happy

As with most insurance products you don’t really know how good the product is until you have to use it.

Probably more by luck than judgment I haven’t had to claim on car insurance since the early 80’s and as long as it covers the windscreen I tend to go with the cheapest. I usually protect my no claims but reading the small print I’m not sure that’s worth it!! Discovery 4 HSE

I think some of these comparison websites are either affiliated with, or actually own one of the comparison companies and tend to front their own first.
Esure has a majority or 100% stake in Gocompare.
Confused.com owned by Admiral.
Moneysupermarket is majority owned by Aviva.

Try contacting A Plan insurance at Thatcham for a quote, a site sponsor on this site and I have found them to be very good for all our vehicles

I understand post codes and the like, but I can’t understand how 2 different comparison sites can be so far apart.

I didn’t count exactly but I would say about the first 25 prices on Go Compare were cheaper than the cheapest price on Compare the Market. I would have to visit the cinema on a regular basis to get my money back Wink

Also how can Go Compare sell me Elephant car insurance approximately 35% cheaper than the company quote me directly Exclamation Discovery 4 HSE

The annual fun and games of comparing various insurance renewal quotes and speaking to insurance companies direct.

Currently with LV who quoted nearly £700 to renew Big Cry

Some time later on websites and the phone and with same level of cover, excess, windscreen cover and NCD The AA came up trumps at just under £330 Thumbs Up

I really can't understand the huge variance in quotes and how some insurance companies seem to just want to fleece the customer Evil or Very Mad Uncle Ray's spare wheel protector
