calling and renewing
Always call your current insurer.
- 99% of the time they add some cheeky extras that cost you more if you autorenew
- 99% of the time they'll drop the price a bit if you ask... altho prices are going up so there's not always much they can do.

also to the above. call just 'to check over the current details on the policy' mention you have had other quotes coming slightly lower.
then wait until just a day or so before the actual renewal and call back. in my experience the quote on the second call is always lower.

Who you with if you don't mind me asking. Mine is coming up as well and I was wondering if you've figured any techniques into dropping the cost a bit?

It's insurance time again, last year it was £218.56 and i had my licence for a full 12 months (in my 1st year it cost about £450 ish)
This year I've done a comparison and now I have my licence 2 years I assumed another (smaller) drop was not inevitable, but even my current provider is quoting slightly higher than last year's quote (this was on their site)
Am I better off calling and renewing or is it likely to be the same quote?
I don't think £220 is actually that bad, considering I do 10k miles commuting, but if I can get it cheaper I'd be happier (obvs)
