My renewal quote was over £600 from Swinton, that was £110 more than last year so I went online and got £370FC from confused.com which is £120 less than last year.
I’m not sure why they send such high renewals though. Anyway it appears it pays to be old.
All I have to do now is try not to crash for another 12 months. Well six really as I only ride in the sun shine.
Six months of sunshine? Bloody optimist.
I had an increase on my renewal last year, so used a comparison site & found my company, (Bennetts) offering an online price LESS than my renewal quote. When I rang them, they said it was a “new customer” price. I asked them if I could have that deal, as a new customer, & they said, of course.
I kept my no claims but just received a new policy number and saved £100 
It’s really looking as if the insurance market is all borrocks.
My wife bought a new (to her) car last year with six months to go on her old policy. Car value went fro £1,000 to £7,000+, insurance group went from 2 to 16 and she just got charged the £25 for a change of vehicle. A winner.
Renewal comes up in February. They now want £ silly. Quick visits on line and a couple of phone calls and I cut the “£ silly” by 70 odd %.
I’m getting more convinced than ever that they have a book but if you start to ask questions and argue, they just make it up as they go along.
It’s all borrocks.
