Well, I read the Daily Wail article on car insurance renewal rip-offs and as my insurance is due within a couple of days I phoned the company this morning.
I queried the amount that they wanted to charge me and after a few moments they knocked £87 off the bill.
The moral of this tale - if they can screw you, they will. Don't let 'em....

PS. I realise that I could probably have got even cheaper elsewhere but they have always been helpful in the past. Yeah, I know, loyalty is expensive!
