    Just signed off on a new policy for £40 cheaper than last year so it's not 100% price hikes everywhere.

    With Hastings - car is a Volvo XC40, increased from £750 to £940, and OK with that as friends locally have had theirs doubled.

    Surely shop around though? I was expecting at least a 25% increase, but actually reduced it for whatever reason

    Shopping around takes time, but so easy to give a comparison site such as Confused.com a whirl every year. And it takes 5 mins. That is my level of shopping around.

    Plus you also get a chunk of cash back every year via Quidco or TopCashback making the savings even greater.

    That’s all I do. All the details are already loaded in the account so just click go.

    Always do it 20-26 days before renewal is due. It’s a tip from MSE and it works.

    One more data point - 52 (nearly)-y-o, 2016 Mazda MX-5. Full NCB, no convictions.

    Last year, with Ageas, £375 fully comp. This year, their renewal price was £537, an increase of 42%.

    Five minutes on Go Compare, and I'm now with AVIVA and it cost me £283, still fully comp, a reduction of 25%.

    To say that I'm pleased is an understatement - I was preparing to have my pants pulled down.

    Mentioned earlier in the thread that my insurance for our Polo had gone down £10.00 with Aviva, but was apprehensive for the Abarth. Well that’s gone down too by £8.00 to £161.00. Not complaining and puts the motivation to sell it on hold for now.
