Two days ago, I received my insurance renewal notice from Aviva, and I was delighted to learn that it was £52 less than last year. I got a few quotations today, but Quidco and Compare the Market couldn't come close to the renewal price, and LR, which only offers monthly payments even though I want to pay everything at once, wanted almost twice as much as other quotes.

There is still hope for us, because it was quite an impressive turn of events ;)

Pleasure to be informed. In only five weeks, my current insurance policy with Aviva will expire. Aviva seems to be being realistic, however I will conduct my customary comparative site search three weeks before.

My own has been rejuvenated. I got a windscreen crack fixed (excellent UK roads!), but Sheilas Wheels wanted to almost double mine to a little over a grand. Since the cost of the repair was significantly lower than the premium I paid, they were still profitable.
I saved more than £400 by using comparison websites. It's insane. I worked for less than an hour, and Sheilas Wheels blew their opportunity to profit from me.

It was my secondary driver's license number that was missing from my renewal policy; I called to have it added, and my premium is now £110 less than it was last year, which is awesome.

The figures are probably made up by them as they go along.
