    If their renewal quote is more expensive than others, just... move.

    There's no reason whatsoever to display loyalty to an insurer.

    Get on Topcashback, try their own comparison service and offers available from other companies.
    I have just received £40 cashback on a policy that cost £152.
    Loyalty with any insurance company should be consigned to history !

    Then shop around and go elsewhere.  Use the comparison sites.

    I'm well aware of all that, just wondered if anyone else had a large increase, it used to be very competitive.  By  miles is cheapest, but has a £300  excess.

    My esure renewal was £12 more than last year. Every other insurer is apparently giving refunds and big discounts because of Covid too :'(

    I really can't be bothered spending hours shopping around and filling in forms to save £20-£30 though, so I renewed.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    Same here, mine with RIAS has just gone up by 54%
    Rang them up not much movement, so will be going elsewhere
