Both my bike and car policy renewals have come in so reasonable that I renewed without even bothering to look around. Are others experiencing similar?

The car one was a bit poor (due to my young age) but yeah the bike ins was cheap again so stuck with them.
In fact come to think of it the bike has been with the same company for about 4 years due to that

They haven't learnt.

Last year my Tiger and F650 were on a 2 bke policy with Bennetts for £200 pa fully comp.

Renewal came through last week for £340.

I phoned up to haggle. The best they could do was £240.

I'd already got an online quote for the 2 bikes for £178 so went with that. The stupid thing was that this quote was also with Bennetts.

Had to do the same this year. Split a dual bike policy into two singles which actually worked out cheaper than last year, despite one policy starting with zero no claims. The car I had to move to get a little less than last year's and kick Mrs C off the policy. A third bike, the renewal came in 4% cheaper, so may let that run.

Last year when I got the Blackbird paid £170 fully comp with 1 yr ncd. Didn’t think that was too bad.
Renewal came through last January and they wanted £270 (wtf) That was with Hastings Direct.
Shopped around and ended up paying £133 with Bennett’s.
For what it’s worth, I’ve never found a multi bike policy that’s been cheaper than insuring each one separately.

No word of a lie- had my car replaced with a Vauxhall Adam 1.0 from a Fiat 500 1.2 (that was worth more.

Fiat was £97 fully comp
Adam ~£1000!!!! What the actual funk!!

Managed to get it down to £340 but still thats a joke
