If it helps anyone, a lot of time was wasted with proposal to Tesco insurance, only when getting beyond the front pages and entering lots of details does one discover DOC is not included.

Eventually get a quote from RAC which include DOC.

Another thing noticed, returning to already provided quotes, I was unable to simply click through and purchase a policy as doing so simply retriggered a new quote at a higher price as I'm no longer 3 weeks out but more like three days; I felt that was disingenuous.

Quotes tend to only be valid for a set period. Not endless. 👍

There are plenty of reports of some insurers / brokers employing dynamic pricing models which increase every 24 hours but magically reset themselves when viewed from a different browser.

If true this might fall fowl of government moves towards pricing transparency especially if customers are being artificially pressured into making a purchase.

At time of quote I was informed valid for 31 days although some were shorter. Retuning by clicking email link failed to load the earlier quote, simply to reload the proposal information.

I've had that in the past with AA insurance, went to buy it within time-frame and price jumped. It ended up doing me a favour as refused to buy at dearer price and a few days later a cheaper quote came up. I now pay little credence to those dates.
