Gotcha 
Just renewed mine for next month. The renewal quote from my existing lot was near double. I found it for about 15% more.
The galling thing is while playing the auto trader game I can insure an AMG CL63 for 10% less than my current E350d rag top.
Just got the multi-policy renewal quote in.
For the two daily drivers it’s up about 30%
For the Buildings and contents it’s up about 16%
I still intend to call up and decline the renewal and see what they offer.
This yearly dance really is a pain in the hole.
Good news is the bike insurance went down by a tenner to £94.
X.

My turn for a car insurance moan.
Last year cost £546 for 2 cars. This year’s renewal £813, a 48% increase.
Long story short… I ended up cancelling, and buying insurance from the same provider via a comparison site for £664 a 22% increase.
'kin farce.
To add, its the EV that has caused the Lion’s share of the increase, the ICE car went up by less than £20.

Insurance companies phearing teh evul flayming battreez.
Mind you I did hear an anecdote saying an ionic 5 battery replacement was the best part of 60k so who knows.
Mines gone up from £364 to £472 but I changed my car and the new one’s.worth twice as much as the old one, so not too bad really.
Just renewed the SEAT. Direct Line’s initial ‘suggestion’ of £724.39 has been negotiated down to a less hurty £585.03 which I’m pretty happy with.

Car insurance renewal received today from Admiral - £347 (last year was £299)
Used GoCompare (free £250 excess cover) and have just switched to Ageas (via Sterling) £196 for the same level of cover.
Satisfied with that.

As I prepare for my turn to bend over, is there any difference between any of the comparison sites (i.e. is GoCompare better than Compare the Market/U Switch, etc.)? I was going to hit them all up but I feel like I remember hearing that they ‘speak’ to each other and quotes start going up, so maybe it’s best to just pick one.
Ooh, a conspiracy theory

Pick one, but pick wisely…
I really can’t complain about LV insurance. Recently reversing and turning the side of the front bumper glanced an immovable lump of welsh rock, didn’t feel any impact but the bumper, radiator grill and one headlight taken out. Gaffa tape got us home and LV couldn’t have been more helpful. From reporting a ‘my fault’ accident, within half an hour I had a repair date, a courtesy car, a direct line to my accident rep and an upgrade to a Skoda Octavia from a Fiat 500 because of needs at no extra charge. My insurance is due and the renewal has come in at £130 above last years price of £400. I did have a claims protection on my insurance. I can’t complain at the price rise but what has been outstanding is the efficiency and courtesy of LV. , would highly recommend them, the repair/replacement of parts must have been in excess of £3k and no quibbles.

And what would you suggest, oh seer of insurance?
Go Compare include £250 excess cover on all policies bought through them.

I didn’t see that, that’s good to know. So one can put it on £500 excess and £250 of that would be paid by GC?

I resisted that.
