I have never automatically renewed. Even when my renewal is competitive, I ring up and get a little bit more off. They prey on people not bothering to shop around but it certainly pays off.

Wow, it's clear they don't want your business! I renewed this year with the naval chap (lady now in the adverts), they knocked the price down when I said I was still looking around so got it very cheap.

Shocking that Ray, glad you got sorted at a good price.
My premium was cheaper this year so I renewed with them. Lazy I know but as long as it doesn't go up I'm happy. When it does I ring up and ask why and they reduce the premium anyway

Sky Insurance, with whom I have been a loyal customer for many years, declined to insure the A6 this year since it wasn't modified enough
 I even offered to remap it and change the wheels, but they weren't interested. That was the push I needed to get a motor trade policy which insures everything I own instead

In your case MJ I'm surprised you didn't have trade insurance. Best way to go for you.
Now I'm only one car, personal use only that is not the way for me. I even tried the old fogeys insurance (SAGA) but that was rather high end. In the past I've tried retired, chaufer, coach driver, you name it and it makes pennies difference in the end. One firm wanted me to drive for them and found that their insurance wouldn't cover me. Shame really 'cos they lost the contract through that and a scroat firm picked it up. Seems strange, the guy I work for now has no insurance problems with age. I have annual medicals and have to do eight hours classroom every year to keep my licence valid, don't understand the problem.

My renewal was with Aviva and came in at £380. I thought I'd try some other options and ended up with A-Plan. I have a modified car policy now (even though it's not yet modified) at £387 and can now lower the car and change the exhaust.
As with MJ, they first told me the car wasn't modified enough for their policy, so I promised to modify it and they covered me! Bizarre...
