Have you gone to your current insurer's website and asked for a quote, as if you were a new customer?

Believe it or not I saved about £170 by doing that.

I was with a very well known company and they upped my renewal by about £100 (despite extra NCD etc), to £720 so I went on their website, input all my details and got a quote for £550 !

I took a print and saved the quote, then rang through to renew.
Took a couple of hours to sort it (not on the phone as such, the agent couldn't explain and went through to their supervisor, who asked for a copy, which I emailed and they then called me back).

A mate of mine was with a major motoring organisation and they suddenly upped his - for no reason - by about £200. £500+ for a Cavalier (this is only about 5 years ago).
He got a quote from somewhere for £220, rang and informed his company that he wasn't renewing and they offered to match his quote.
He told them to bu&&er off because they could have done that originally.

Anyway, recommendation is always a good thing and Keith Michaels/Moley were recommended to me.
They got me a deal for about £60 less than Admiral were quoting, on renewal.
They are also very efficient.
The Insurance Underwriters they've insured me with (KM is a brokers) have been slightly awkward about my NCD because I SORNed my previous car when the Tax ran out, and then didn't renew the insurance prior to selling the car, so I actually had no need for insurance for almost a year, and I've had to go to VOSA to get confirmation of the SORN and change of owner.

Keith Michaels have kept in touch and done quite a bit of too-ing and fro-ing.

I'm happy with them.

I used Adrian Flux for my Westfield and I have heard some horror stories from other people with them but I've never made a claim and found out for myself.

I have been using Greenlight for the scooby for 4 years but have just switched to A plan, both are similar in price (A plan slightly cheaper). Again I can't comment on claims as I haven't had any but I would recommend either on my experiences to date

I tried getting a quote from these but found it impossible to get anyone to speak to me. Went with Greenlight in the end as they gave me a more than acceptable price.

At kieth michaels you need to speak to gary moulson aka moley_wrx on here (think thats the right username) he gets insanly buys so can be dificult to get hold of, well worth the call though.

He'll do what he can for you.

Never ever take the renewal price.
Shop around every year as new customers get the best deals.

I have only experianced the hard to get hold of Moley thing once (annoying), in the three years I have been with them, guess I'm lucky or phone at a good time,

Seeing as direct line, admiral, and the like don't seem to understand ppp then when I add on the remap the price go's silly as in my 05sti £360 ish add ppp go's to £580ish add remap go's to £750 ish or not able to cover due to adding 20% hp over standard these price I got from on line quotes for me in my car this year
My renewal this year all mods listed £550. £30 cheaper than last year
