    Some insurers (Aviva?) will not allow their quote systems to give quotes for the same driver and vehicle as an existing current policy.

    It's possible to get a quote by using dummy details and an identical vehicle registration from autotrader, but you would never able to buy a new policy online with the correct details.

  • have to do this every year with Admiral, even told the renewals guy to cut tot he chase and give the decent quote upfront, "I'm sorry sir but I can't do anything", whatever. Auto renewal was £990 for 2 cars, fill in the form online again, £570. Also, follwo the advice on the main site regarding job description, it made quite a difference with Admiral.

    Churchill are strange........they will haggle car insurance, but with home insurance they wont, you just have to cancel and re-insure.
