Budget Insurance: new quote

I've currently got Landlord's Insurance with Budget. The cost last year was £155. The renewal is £423!

If I try to get a quote as a new customer it recognises my details and won't let me go any further into the quote process.

If I get a quote using a different name and for the house next door the cost is £160.

Anyone got any ideas on how I can circumvent this new/existing customer nonsense?

    Have you had any claims?

    The obvious solution would be to simply just get a quote from another company, there are many many companies that are falling over themselves for landlords insurance so its a competitive market.

    You would probably get better cover and service than your would from Budget

    Get some quotes from elsewhere then phone up Budget and ask if they could match/beat the competitor's quotes.
