Result!
Got my insurance quote down to just £1-27 extra a month for building and contents,
I could not believe the effrontery of what was said ( no offence to the young man Adam I spoke to) I have only ever claimed once and that was for new glasses that I’d just bought two weeks previously, I did an 850ft zipwire in 2018, was a bit disoriented when landing , missed my footing and broke the glasses, the claim was for £285 after paying the excess , I knew and expected and increase and it came in at an extra £5 per month but...... my garage roof leaked last year, I rang my insurance AA then decided I’d have it done myself as the premium would would go even higher (£1500 for fibre glass roof)
Do you know that goes down as a ‘notification’ even though no claim was made?
To me that is shocking !!!!

As an aside, I am with Direct Line for both car and house insurances. Over the last five years my premiums have not increased at all and one year they were both slightly less than the previous years. Of course I do a quick check on the comparison sites but DL is still the cheapest for me. It won't be the cheapest for everyone because every insurance company uses different algorithms.
My car insurance is due very shortly. I informed the company that I am self isolating for twelve weeks and the car will be in a locked garage during this time. Seeing as the car wouldn't be used for a quarter of the insured year, I thought there might be a slight decrease in the premium, I didn't expect the proposed increase.
