So got my quote to renew £162 up from £141 last year, so thought I will look around.
Same quote from same supplier (usually cheaper) was £241 !
Nearest other quote was £251!!!!! [-Censored-]!!
So looks like I will actually be renewing my insurance this year rather than shopping about.
What has happened to bump it up so badly this year?

I don't know, but all three of our renewal quotes had outrageous increases this year (20%-50%), no claims, all three perfect records.
So a bit of switching - the Corsa (which basically sits in the garage all year) has moved from Saga to AA, saving £20 (but still underwritten by Acromas!). The Leon moves from LV= to Saga, saving £40; the downside here is that it is underwritten by Covea, about whom I have not read a single good thing.
The comparison sites showed that the renewals were not actually wildly out of line as far as the big names go, so I'm hoping that the reputations of Saga and the AA will count for more than the bargain basement underwriters they use should I have to claim

Effects of increased VAT and change of the Ogden Rate discount.

My car insurance costs me about £800. It’s been fluctuating around that figure over the past few years no matter which company I’d look at
I’m told it’s due to the area I live in.
Try someof these! Could your employment status be a factor? Plusnet-put his premium up.

@Gandalf, @£800 I wouldn't bother having a car. Mine has been sub £200 for about 10+ years now, probably due to age/area etc.
