I had a car insurance renewal quote that had a 110% increase since last year. That’s more than doubled with no claims, accidents, or points.

I went to a comparison site and found one that was ‘only’ a 50% increase on last year. Insurance prices are ridiculous!

    Not true—at least didn’t used to be. For 3 years, Tesco renewal was cheaper for us than any online comparison site (same excess, options etc). That included Tesco new quote.

    But definitely never take a renewal without checking.

      Funny thing was it was a Tesco policy that doubled the price, though for the previous two years they were either the cheapest or so close that I didn’t bother changing; I think last year there was one policy that was £15 a year cheaper. This year though they were far from cheapest.

        Yes, all bets are off this year. Plus we now have a ‘claim’ even though it was all paid by the other party. No idea how much difference things like that make but certainly not comparing like with like.
