Well I heard insurance premiums were rising.................

but this took me a bit by surprise

I have been insured by Allianz for two years now. I have an 11 year NCB. No claims at all, non fault or anything for about 30 years.
Last years renewal was £268 which I accepted with no haggling as it seemed very reasonable

Just received this years renewal offer at £624 Shocked

Have phoned and it is not a mistake, they won't negotiate........so I said "don't bother" time to change

Steve

I've a similar history to you except for a 'my fault' smash about 4 years ago (not entirely sure it was all my fault as I was slowly edging out into a main road with my view obscured because of cars parked where they shouldn't have been when suddenly someone took my front end off!!! But hey I took responsibility).

I pay not much more than you and if the renewal comes in at around the same or slightly less I will renew (after a few searches on GoCompare etc).

I've been with my latest insurer for 2 years now after my previous insurer hiked the premium up over £200 for no reason. No loyalty now a days so I think sod it I will take my business elsewhere. I've even found the same insurers quote a lot cheaper on these comparison sites compared with my renewal quote.

Shop around and you will get a lower quote. I bet if you then go back to Aliance they will match it.

@ Rich P bet they won't.
Had the same thread on the Full Fat forum yesterday must be time of the year.
It's a PITA but you need to shop round every renewal time. I have had a renew quote from one insurer £200 above the same quote I get on line from directwecomparethechurchil.com for the same insurer, You just end up having a frustrating phone call and end up moving anyway.
One tip certainly for a younger driver put some more mature drivers on the policy it reduces the premium a heck of a lot.

The premium on my 30 yr old son's Porsche 911 dropped a lot when he added his OAP Mum on as a named driver and she is scared to drive it! Worked for his Freelander too.
I understand that in Italy it's common now to find little old ladies with multiple speeding tickets and points on their licences as they take the rap for their grandchildren. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Seems like things are changing. Maybe they are now getting customers to shop around to save them time/money in knowledge that they will get enough customers anyway on the books to keep the profits rolling in?

I had a renewal through 2 years ago, when I was 20. I was paying £600. The renewal came through at £1100. Went online on a comparison site and got a quote from the same company for £550! Logic, what logic?

Always used Landrover insurance, this year its gone down to £287 fully comp for me and the wife, touring cover abroad has gone from 30 days to 60 odd days free because its now Allianz backed whereas it cost an extra £40.

It is always worth going to your current insurance providers website and checking out cover as a new customer. This is often less than you get as 'valued' existing customer. Then ring them up and say I've got a quote can you beat it..they usually do if they don't renew as a new customer

It's well worth it
