Very standard. Most insurers give huge discounts in the first year or may even sell you the policy at a loss. They rely on people who don't shop around at renewal to subsidise those who do.

It is also common that a company will match its own website, as it is cheaper to retain an existing customer with one phone call than to advertise for new ones.
