Renewal was £340. Managed to get it for £313 with Hastings Direct. Not much saving but was still happy with it considering I have to have my car insured for work and I protect my no claims

Hastings Direct offered a deal on insuring a second car. Not good to me as JB drives a company car but might be worth thinking about for you for next year

We looked into doing dual insurance a few years back, no real saving were to be had.

My insurance has just automatically renewed. I had an email telling me what the cost had changed to and I have no idea how much it was, but I do remember thinking it wasn't worth the hassle of changing it.

Mine didn't automatically renew. I would have had to ring them and pay via card. So I thought I would take a quick look around. No hassle

Auto-renewal means most people stay with their current insurer, that's why insurance companies love it.

We only have 1 car, and its Chrissies Renault Megane Estate.
Hers is on Automatic renewal via the bank. The way it is done in France is that all insurance is automatic renewal. It is nigh on impossible to cancel it. Or its very difficult. The Insurance company write to you about a month before the insurance expires and you get two weeks to cancel it. It has to be done via a registered letter so that you have proof that it has been delivered. Even that never works as the Postman just posts the letter and never gets a signature. In the meantime you sign up with another company and you have two active insurances on your car. Its easier and less worrisome just to let it roll over from year to year.
I pay around 480 Euro's a year, unlimited mileage, any driver, and full breakdown cover.
Also there is no such thing as no claims bonus here. But every year Chrissie flutters her eyelashes at Pierre our bank manager and he knocks a few euro's off for her. We have only claimed once, when Chrissie wrote off her Renault Laguna Estate coming off the road on loose gravel at a hairpin bend and careering down the side of the hill. Next year she fluttered her eyelashes at Pierre who gave her a 20% off as she is a "careful driver". Also they gave her far more than it was worth.
