Why your renewal quote went up when nothing changed
Insurance prices are set by what a whole group of similar policies cost to settle, not by your individual year. A clean twelve months can still arrive alongside a higher renewal if repair costs, claims frequency or reinsurance rates moved.
What you can actually control
- Raise the voluntary excess to a figure you could pay tomorrow
- Pay annually rather than monthly where you can
- Remove add-ons duplicated by a bank account or card
- Re-quote every year rather than auto-renewing
The last one is worth more than the other three combined, and it takes about ten minutes.
