I went with autonet they seemed to get the best quote last month but felt stitched up by them last year when i changed vans

Direct Line were the competitive for me. Depends massively on driver age, vehicle and where you live, rather than insurer. Quotes can seemingly change by the hour, as my son found out when his quote from “Quote me Happy” (an online-only outlet of Aviva) for his Group 1 car fell from around £850 just before the site went on go slow due to overnight maintenance down to £500 when it came back up.

Always good to try a comparison site such as MoneySupermarket, though I tend to check out reviews and status of insurers and brokers at the top of the results list as they can sometimes be unheard of with questionable customer service.

Ours doubled at renewal lest month from around £1k per van to over £2k. Same vans, same drivers, one extra year of ncb and one extra year of depreciation. Didn’t even get a renewal quote, there was just a huge chunk of money missing from the bank account. Needless to say I am looking elsewhere.

Thanks for all your replys, have been round them all the the best price is still the one am with at the moment. Dave you were saying about when you changed vans, i changed mine about 18 months ago and i got a refund from them even though the one it was one was 3 and a half years old and moved to a new one which i thought was strange. I was reading its supposedly down to parts etc costing more for repairs, never had a claim except for a chipped windowscreen and a clean driving licence but that appears to make no difference to insurance nowadays.

well to be a bit fair
old van 07 plate 75Hp newer van 16 plate 120Hp
so that prob made them think but £400 from late oct to feb as an extra on the poilicy means i paid About £2000 last year and renewal was £1200
