    I just got my renewal quote from D/Line, say its going from £19 per month to £26 per month - Nearly 25% increase (Tenant contents only) - going to start shopping round, Wonder if they bumped there prices up in the last year does anybody know? Seems like a big jump to say iv not made any claims...

    rbs (parent company of DL and churchill) did this to me this year. i didn't even bother getting any other quotes, just called to say it's too expensive, don't want to renew - they came back with a quote that is lower than i am currently paying.

    they hope you won't notice and just continue but if you call/complain they do seem to reduce it.

    Told to me by a DL employee. Never, never accept any DL renewal quote.

    Always, go online and get a fresh quote. 99% of the time the new online quote will be cheaper then your renewal. It's the way their system works.

    Example. I just got my car renewal for £241, fresh online quote £174. This is the same insurance company, same car, same cover etc
