It's a disloyalty discount.

Two of mine have increased since last year, it's due to those injury claims we enjoy so much!

Thanks T9! It was so good to get them to drop their qoute by £380 by just by going on their website rather than just accept their renewal qoute.

Also I've never commented on your thread but amazing car! Also being a composite engineer nice carbon fibre work lol!

If you stay with a company they usually give you a loyalty discount in your renewal keeping the price low and to cut down the admin.

This case was where a new policy had to be taken out to get a discount so it was a reward of disloyalty!
