1. Model of Car: 2,2CDTi ES

I have been with Budget for a few years, they have been reasonable (free breakdown recovery as an existing customer), with insurance supplied by Axa.
This year they wanted £377 renewal.
Entering my details on their website got it to just over £250.
Also tried a comparison website where M&S was cheapest of the names I'd heard of and had all the bits I wanted.
Phoned Budget, they were not interested in price matching, so went with M&S, then found out it is done for them by Budget using Axa!
I had something similar a few years ago when Tesco was cheapest. Phioned Direct Line, they wouldn't price match, then said they do Tescos car insurance!
Funny game this insurance business, just goes to show you have to shop around every year.
