Van insurance. 20:09 - Feb 14 with 664 viewsBanksterDebtSlave

Just been quoted 50% higher for renewal by Budget. Anybody got any tips on where to look?

A Plan insurance brokers have been sorting my van insurance for many decades, always spot on

Although for some inexplicable reason they have recently rebranded themselves "Howden"

Yes... same as kitchen suppliers.

Tell them Jim sent you.... and I will get a £25 S and M voucher

Not where,but when. MSE said on radio 5 recently that you get your cheapest quote 26 days before it's due. He explained that they graphed out 14 million quotes and this was the cheapest date(though anytime from 18-28 days was basically cheapest aside a few quid relatively). The logic from the companies is that if you are sorting out insurance nearly a month before it's due then you are more likely to be organised and less likely to do silly things in a car (accidentally ordered on purpose) so a lower risk of claiming. In their opinion,those getting insurance a lot nearer the due date are more likely to be risk takers and so a higher risk of claiming, and so the quote goes up quite a lot nearer the date it's due to cover the risk. All this was on radio 5 about a week ago,around midday.

Yes, exactly this. Broker at A Plan says that the renewal price rises as the renewal date draws nearer. If you accept the quote as soon as he /she phones you get the best price.... even though I don't have to pay until a bit nearer the time
