I'm still with Privilege for the S8, they wrote to me recently asking if I wanted to apply for a premium reduction due to reduced mileage during lockdown. Didn't actually bother as the premium is so low already and went down at the last renewal that I though any saving would be trivial.
The Volvo, as I think I've noted elsewhere I switched to AvivaPlus quite recently from Privilege due to an inexplicable premium increase; it's pay monthly but only about £19 a month now!
That turned out to be a good choice as it needed a new windscreen recently. Heated with cameras etc. behind that all needed realigning, so a 4-hour workshop job. There's no glass replacement excess whatsoever on that policy whereas most seem to be £75 or more!
