got renewal in for my Sportage £726, raked about £371, do these folk think my middle name is Coco? I was confused, not now.
Who is that with, and was it via an internet comparison site, broker or direct contact?Just got insured for £366, bit of difference from £726.
SHOP AROUND BOYS!

Sadly cancelling a Continuous Payment Authority is almost impossible as banks cannot "see" that a payment is to be made. To them it is like you walking into a shop and using the card to buy something. The payment only shows up when a payment is requested.Also worth getting quotes from the two Clubs Insurance team.
You have the legal right to cancel an auto renewal before the actual renewal date. Tell your bank and ensure they block the insurers DD.Obviously write / email the Insurer cancelling the auto renewal.
Since Covid it seems to me loyalty with an Insurer now means nothing!
Exact wording of jobs can be a major issue - my son works in the car insurance industry and even he needs to try different (true) descriptors of his job to get the lowest premium.Get this.
I have had car and house insured with LV for some years. Last year the car insurance went up from about £500 to £533. I rattled their cage and they 'got it down' to £506. This year it was £565 and they 'managed to get it down to £533 - so I went looking elsewhere.
U-Switch offering Allianz came up with £314 - Allianz own LV but use LV's name for holding the insurance. Looks good I thought, so I went through all the questions using the Allianz web site and made a few corrections. Result? Quote now £533! I went back several times removing the changes I had made and tracked it down to one entry on my son's info. He is a Fresh Water Tech for a well know water supplier. For some reason U-Switch had interpreted 'Fresh Water Tech' as Sewage Worker. That single change increased the premium by 70%!! Went back, reverted it to Sewage Worker and the premium reverted to £314. So I told LV what to do with it.
I ended up with the AA which was about £350 plus service charge - about £382 in total, and essentially identical cover.
Same here, but I still don't understand why - let's face it - a labourer gets a better deal than a trained tech?Exact wording of jobs can be a major issue - my son works in the car insurance industry and even he needs to try different (true) descriptors of his job to get the lowest premium.
