Motor insurance renewal premium

Just been made very happy by someone at Norwich Union Home & Drivers Club Insurance. My annual renewal premium was £270 (Peugeot 307, mostly

40-something drivers). I thought I should have a quick look round at the market and did a quick search on AA website and found a little (but not much) reduction. Then rang NU for my existing policy and asked what effect changing the excess would do and the nice lady suggested making the policy any driver over 25 (unwittingly over the years it had become 'any driver' which included under 25s). The premium dropped to £183 by selecting 'any driver over 25'. So Thank you very much Yvonne at NU Home and Drivers Club in Glasgow for saving me £87 on my premium.

(So happy that I just had to tell someone....)

NU always, in the end, give me about the best quote.

But why do I have to phone them and negotiate the renewal quote to get up to

150 of reductions with no change of cover? Why not just give me the best quote?

My Direct Line home cover had crept up to £300+ p.a. I looked for online quotes and one of these was for £103 - with Direct Line. I took out a policy with them for that amount, and cancelled existing cover. Exactly the same policy document/cover.(except that where old policy premium was calculated on buildings value I'm now automatically covered up to a more than adequate maximum sum insured.) I'm reasonably sure that if I'd just phoned to pay renewal by credit card, they would have been happy to take £300+
