When would be the best to renew my car insurance ?

My car insurance runs out Jan 24th, when would be the best to renew ? The cheapest is £554 currently UGH.

..Martin normally recommends about 3 weeks before it is due is the best time to get quotes...

(I did this recently and used them to get £100+ off my quoted renewal premium from my existing provider)...

The point was that “renew” means paying for another year of your existing policy, whereas taking out a different policy is not the same.
renewal I’d leave until the last minute but I don’t think that’s what you meant.
searching for quotes is 3 weeks which is about now.

have you checked quidco and topcashback?

The day before, the insurer doesnt get a chance to give an inflated price.

Mines due in a few days, had the renewal price 3 weeks ago and comparison sites have sent me
this years prices based on last years details which is coming in cheaper still.

I will phone my insurer the day before and either get a better deal or cancel and go elsewhere.

Martin advised about 21 days before - I got my down £150 from the renewal advice.
