People, for fuck's sake
Don't stay with the same company. They usually work on the 'We've got you so you're fucked' principle. We've been with It's4me for a few years without checking other companies, until Swinton took them over and charged me £35 because a payment of £37 didn't go out of my bank. They quoted £600 for a new policy, even though I'd told them that I'd rather fucking walk than be insured with them again. We're now with Hastings for £330 for the year. Renewal time, I'll shop around again. You'll get a better deal from a new company because you're new business for them.

And watch out for this 'well you need to cancel at the latest 30 days before your renewal date or we take it that you're staying with us' bollocks...

Same happend to me.
Insured with Shitcover, they hiked the price up by 250 this year. So I shopped around with about 6 weeks to go before the renewal, Loads of reasonable (for car insurace) prices.
Had to wait to 3 weeks before the renewal date (payday ect), went insure, found out some of the companies had rocketed.

Now in the meantime I walked into a high street insurace brokers-just to see if they could beat the online quotes (silly me). Whether they passed my details around or I was on some kind of database as being a pleb off the street I dunno.

TBH buying a car seems like a waste of moeny to me, I'm considering leasing one next year.
