While it is admirable that people would want to stick to the same insurer, especially when they have received an exceptional service from them over the years, this single-mindedness will not always prove to be economical.
It is widely known in the industry that new customers get better deals than existing ones and with the simplicity that drivers can switch insurers, it is a wonder than more people don’t choose the better deal in most cases.
Scouring the market for prices can be done while you are still with your current insurer, so you can still decide to stick with them if you wish. In the meantime you could shop around and compare a range of premiums.
