BR friendly insurance companies

Options
Hi there

Just got my contents insurance renewal through and thought i'd shop around a bit to see if I can get it cheaper anywhere else. Only thing is they don't seem to like us BRs much do they?

Has anybody come across any nice BR friendly companies (or any that just don't bother asking)?

Many thanks in advance

    Legal & General don't ask on their online application, neither do Co-op insurance. Both only ask about criminal records.

    Co-op are BR friendly anyway and i guess they would be even more helpful if you have there cashminder account.

    Thanks everyone, i'll give those suggestions a try. It's funny, I have a co-op cashminder but it didn't occur to me to try for their insurance. I suppose if the logic follows Barclays might be worth a try too.

    Renewed my contents insurance through AIG earlier in the week and they accepted me for installments too.

    Not only were they the cheapest when I ran through a comparison site, I also got £45 cashback through Quidco, so well worth a look
