My present car insurance runs out in a couple of days and my current provider is still pestering me to renew with them.
Whatever the insurance, car, house or travel, I never permit the company the right to automatically renew year after year. The wisdom of this is illustrated here.
Present expiring car insurance - approx £300
Autorenewal - £471.87
Research on various comparison sites, depending on choice of excess and other options like legal provision, windscreen cover, breakdown services etc - £291.54 upwards.
My choice came in at £322.56. Everything I wanted except breakdown services as I get that elsewhere at a good price.
So, I paid a few pounds more than last year but nothing like the extra £149.31 I would have paid by allowing autorenewal. Don't do it!

Twithay?
Same happened with my car insurance earlier this month!
So I looked at Go Compare and Tesco was the cheapest car insurance company, and with the same cover!
Stay away from ‘auto renew’
