Options
So we all know you should never auto renewal right?! I got caught out last year and paid the price for it! This year I was quoted £491.15, checked a few comparison websites and got quoted £222.45 from a well known company. Rang my original provider for the them to tell me they couldn't match the quote. 
Ran through quidco will hopefully have made £20 cashback, now have meerkat movies/food and a massive saving on my car insurance. 

Saved £268.70 potentially £288.70

I am chuffed! :smiley:

    Unless you are ultra organised and never forget anything then autorenewal is exceptionally sensible as backup for the unexpected as paying £200 too much on your insurance is a small price compared to accidentally driving without insurance.
