Try Aviva. They're not on the comparison sites.

Is that from experience or because you have seen it on TV?


From experience. I think they'll still give you an initial discount, so like
everyone else, the following year you have to check again, but this time I
decided to stay with them.


Have to say I'm well impressed with them; at least for motor
insurance... last year, with two teenage drivers on to my policy
(aargh!) I did the old comparison site tango, and got about 300 quotes
from several different sites. Aviva - not on the comparison sites -
undercut them all dramatically so I went with them.

Just had my renewal notice from them - up by about 25-30% on last year
despite no claims or changes in circs. "Aye, aye" I thought - they're
taking the mick from a renewing customer. Went back on the comparison
sites again, and could not find a single premium there below £2,600. My
*renewal* premium with Aviva, however, was only(!) £1,450.
