Darwin Car Insurance - RANT

Posts: 1,594 Forumite
So I received my car insurance renewal email from Darwin for the upcoming year & said my renewal was £381.47 & that was down from the £620.55 I paid last year.
'Christ that's a saving' I thought to myself!! Then I thought 'I'm sure I am paying about £35 a month & even with the standard 2 months deposit/first payment that doesn't come close'. So I went back through my emails & found last years policy & to my surprise the policy cose £432.29.
Cheeky buggers making me think they have almost halved the price I paid last year!!

regulations require them to tell you what last years premiums were, I'd be raising it with them as to why the letter contains the wrong number1
