My Car Insurance Renewal Has Doubled – What Should I Do?

A renewal that has doubled does not mean every insurer will quote the same price. Check the new figure carefully and compare alternatives before the policy renews.

Check that you are comparing like with like

Look at the annual premium, excesses, optional extras and payment method. A change in cover can make a renewal look worse or better than it really is.

Check whether your details changed

A move, different car, altered mileage, a new driver or a recent incident can all change the information used to price the renewal.

Compare before the renewal date

Use the renewal figure as your benchmark. If another policy looks better, make sure its cover and excesses are suitable as well as its price.
