Car insurance...
This might sound like a silly question...
Got my notice that my car insurance is up for renewal next month. Had a scoot round the comparison sites and I can get it for at least £160 cheaper. When I phone current insurance company to inform them will they just ask what company gave me the best quote and do the checks themselves?
Secondly, if I decide to move how far in advance should I inform current company?

I usually just say that I have found a better deal of £xxx, can they match it. If not, I say I won't be renewing.
But make sure there is no 'break' during switchover.....

No, they won't - it's not their business to do that. You don't have to tell any insurance company why you're leaving them at renewal.
However, if you tell them that you can save over 150 quid by moving, you might well find that they go away for a few minutes, then come back and meet that offer. It's worth trying - insurance companies need not to lose business, and do sometimes discount under these circumstances.

Hi ummmm I phoned up my company and explained that I had searched around and would not be renewing with them. They then asked companies that were cheaper and by how much I ended up with same company at £1 cheaper than than my cheapest quote?????? Why could it not be that to start with never pay a renewal always query.
