    Well if you are going to keep bashing into walls, then the premiums are only ever going to go one way.

          Firstly you aren't a new customer so you don't get a new customer discount.

          Secondly you are suppose to move insurance companies every year. Even moving to one of their different brand names within the group should give you a discount.

            Not all insurers list their deals on comparison sites. Shop around.

              Very true.

              Direct Line you have to go to their website.

              Also you should get a quote from GoCompare or whatever quote site, then go to the insurer's website yourself as you frequently get a better price.
