AutoAid increases Renewal Cost

I received a renewal notice today from AutoAid which increases my premium ( including “fees”) from £43.31 to £59.91 !. WOW that’s gonna hurt
20%? Increase
OK they were the cheapest on the market and I’ve used them once in the past 5 years, but I think they’re benefiting from the publicity from Martin Lewis
The Marketing Manager couldn’t have picked a worse time and should seriously consider his position
I have cancelled my automatic renewal and will start shopping around
I am a fairly competent DIY mechanic and carry a comprehensive toolkit, the only thing I can’t do is tow myself
20%? Increase

Yes it appears they put them up in May 2019 so will probably go up this year as wellTychoTMA said:Did AutoAid whack its fees up last year too? I wish these organisation would give a no claims bonus.
