Not a lot of point in comparing quotes across the land, as so much depends on your postcode. A friend who lives only 2 miles away, but in a more upmarket location, can never meet my quotes for similar vehicles. Always at least £50 higher.
Comparing percentage increases over the year is of greater value.
Incidentally, our two tintops renewals in the past few weeks were actually lower than last year...only by a couple of pounds, but at least, lower.
