I did just that ray with mine. 28 days prior to renewal quotes from compare the market and money supermarket brought mine down by 35%. Did not bother to wait for my renewal quote ,with my existing insurer as they are coming out later than normal . I took the insurance on offer whilst i could. This seems to be a normal trend that is happening from renewal quotes , from your existing company , as they know that prices increase rapidly towards the renewal date. Took your advice ray .. glad i did ..
