Using MSE's car insurance tool for the first time. I have 24 days to go until renewal so I know this is a good time (20-27 days). Should I wait and get further quotes over the next few days (up until 20 days till renewal) to see if they get cheaper, or will I have lost today's quotes by then?

Bit confused (.com). Thanks.

Any quote should last for a set period of time and the quotes should indicate this.

I renewed mine the other day and got a better deal going through a cashback site, Quidco.

If the money pays out, it has been tracked, I'll be paying just under what I paid last year.

Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

The comparison sites don't necessarily give the the cheapest quote. Quite a lot of insurers aren't listed on them, and may be cheaper.
