Got my renewal quote through the door this morning and it was fooking ridiculous 
SO After running a quote online it came out £300 cheaper. I phoned up, price got reduced, "sincere apologies Mr Mitchell"
Happy Again 
Morale of the story...always run an online quote 
Shittest thread of 2007...perhaps

They want £45 cancellation fee for the 489 quid policy so I can then spend the 380.

315 as I bought the car in 2005 not 2003 as I had originally indicated
£2 discount if I had have bought the car sooner
Even so, saved a bit of cash there

I just got my renewal!!! £895 on my 106!!! Fucking over the moon!!!
Was paying £1500!!!
That is a massive saving. I can't even be bothered to get a quote from else where, and definately keeping the lil puglet now.

Admiral & elephant always over inflate your renewal. Every year I cancel only to join back up online as a new customer........Ive been doing this for years & saved £££'s.

As soon as the renewal comes Stu I phone up to cancel, just say im shopping around & seen much cheaper elsewhere, give them a little lower than there online price, they cant match it so cancel goes ahead. Then I go straight onto their site & sign up as a new customer.
Elephant's website tries to get around this now by not allowing you to quote if you are an existing customer, so to get around this I just select insure a second car from the menu, that works.quotes a quote as long as they honour it & send through the paperwork!!

Always do this. Always check quote online then phone them

Tell you about insane quotes. On my 1.4 8v corsa, my first years (last year) insurance was £1800, couldnt get cheaper anywhere.
After gaining 1 years NCB, fitting an alarm and moving from birmingham to plymouth, my renewal this year?
£597
