House insurance up by 40%

Hi Just a warning. I Had Home and content insurance with direct line last year with contents cover. Two weeks ago I look at the new price and it came up to about £500 (Last year about £300).

So I changed and got it back down to just above £300.

It had been winding me up for a while. But the other day I noticed why. Last year they gave me free travel insurance, but this year they wanted to charge me.

Anyone else had this problem,

    Its quite normal that as a new customer you get a discount, at renewal the price goes up as you are no longer a new customer.
    When shopping around you then get a good price as you are again a new customer.
