Yup, they all do it, although every company I've ever had any insurance with have immediately honoured the new quote if you go online and sign up again as a new customer. Always shop around, and at the least get a quote as a new customer with your current insurer. Last year with Admiral, I got the usual renewal letter, did an online quote, called them up and the very helpful chap then said he could do better and knocked me another £75 off. I was absolutely amazed
Will be trying Chris Knott this time around too now the missus is 25
Yep, same here. Just got a renewal with Admiral today which I was amazed to see was almost £200 more than the quote I can get when I go through the process as a new customer. Needless to say I will be phoning them with the new quote to make sure that's what I get...AT LEAST.
