Well, F me they really are not and I'm not talking about small margins! Confused.com was a full 30% more than Moneysupermarket.
Now clearly that is big in percentage terms but given I was running quotes for the Range Rover, the difference was enormous!So long story short, I was in a quandry for next year as the best quotes were coming in at over £4k which were just unsustainable but difficult if you look at it with a hard head financially as swapping to something else and the cost to change would mean you wouldn't see a net gain for several years anyway. The best on Moneysupermarket was £3,300 and I got nearly a grand refund from cancelling the old policy early so a net £2,300 to cover it for 12 months.
I'm aware that these are astronomical numbers (and I made the mistake of looking at how much my 997 insurance was pre Covid which was something like £6-700 for the year) but that's the unfortunate reality of living in inner London and the upward trend in insurance prices - the Smart is £800 a year to insure and I think the average car in London is something like £1,700. Given the theft and accident history on my record I can't really expect much else for the next couple of years.
One consolation is that on running quotes again, the 911 renewal next year with 1 years NCB, etc. looks like its going to drop from £2k to probably £1,300.
