Annual Insurance Renewal - Best Companies to try??

[bigsanj]

Just done mine with directline. They insured the x5 without a tracker. So far came out the cheapest for me. I was with elephant and they added on loads onto the prenium for extras that were fitted at the factory. Their renewal price came in at £900 compared to dirextline at £490

Just changed to AXA from Swiftcover. Swiftcover wanted £440 to renew my X5 3.0d. I went on compare the market and AXA came in at £306 fully comp with protected no claims, that's for me and the Mrs.
I can't argue with that. I only do around 5k a year though.
Full no claims and 50 years old ( there's got to be some bonus for being middle aged ! )

My renewal with Swiftcover was £640.. >:(
So i did the Go Compare thing, and AXA came in at £330 for the same cover.

Happy days.

My renewal with AXA cam up £2,000.
I got quote for £700 with Flux Direct. Anyone heard of them? they got bad reviews (so has every insurance) but they want me to take a pic of my odometer to prove mileage... strange.

By chance the renewal notice came in yesterday for £809 from Axa Direct.  Rang them and they dropped to £728.  Explained that they were still a fair way off the best figure I've had so far.  Salesman said to give them a call before going with someone else.  Why?  If they had given me a better price there and then and not nessacerily the lowest but in and around £660-£670 I would have sealed the deal.

My broker does this *every* year. Renewal £820. Best they can do for sure! Then I say, oh right, doesn't matter, cos go compare have found me someone who can do it for £420. They say they'll call me back and low and behold, £420. I think, as was mentioned on here, that they just hope on people being too lazy to shop around and that's where they make their money.
