Avi va Tip
Just renewed way cheaper same company..
I missed the renewal date for the posted quote because I could not renew online, lack of account and browser issue creating one..
So again on-line started a fresh quote, as no account needed, it was a little cheaper too, still same company, and no browser issue for new quotes..
Removed the extras, fiddled with mileage, named drivers, then back to original input, way way cheaper?.
Initially adding named driver added £73, so removed and added last and this time it reduced the overall quote..
Cant explain, like for like posted renewal was £385, reduced to £227.
Also it took a while before my usual existing customer discounts started being applied, so if I was quick I would have missed their benefits as they were not shown as applied for the first few quotes..
Still does not explain why adding a driver initially increased the premium then later reduced it..
So the TIP is to try fresh quotes as you dont have to take them..
The only difference I see is the posted renewals keep the same policy number, and policies just seem to go up most years..
