Here's a subject that's never been covered before

car insurance renewal quoted at £421.55' last year £295.10.

Ten minutes on the phone and 'as a valued customer' it is reduced £270.88.

If I had the energy I would change provider.

But I haven't.

And as long as people do that they will continue wasting folks time and or steal their money

As soon as I get a car, house or pet insurance renewal I get on to the price comparison sites and then phone with the lowest quote to see if they'll match or come close.
Not so easy with the bikes as there's no real equivalent and any companyies who do have an online quote system almost always quote based on a stock bike. As soon as you talk about any mods to the bike it's a case of phoning.

It is not about the money. The firm you are dealing with has tried to rip you off, yet you still choose to give them your business ?
It is merely about principle

Just added it all up.....two business related policies plus a rental property block policy plus car insurance + residential insurance plus travel insurance annual policy I had just gone with the renewal premiums quoted by wallet would be £672 lighter than it is after challenging renewal premiums.

What a pain in the arse it is though.
