My car insurance was due end of December and Esure sent the usual renewal notice, last year £303, this years quote £880. I tried the usual comparison sites and could get it cheaper but then once I'd gone to that company and tried to insure they said our under writers will not insure that vehicle! I have another vehicle which is insured via Churchill, so gave them a call. Cut along story short they said the same, can't insure that vehicle.
By the way it's not a Range Rover.
So tried a specialist insurers and bingo, better cover and £287.
I got this with Footman James. Check google for these types of companies as there not on comparison sites.
PS my road tax is dearer than my insurance.
