Need to renew insurance and have broker for my performance car however struggling to get decent price from them for standard cars

I therefore used confused.com and used to use gocompare.com but it seems confused is best on pricing. Do comparison website make money / go compare has higher margin?

What website / broker for x5 ? Esure is quoting £1200 for london

"I therefore used confused.com and used to use gocompare.com". A beautiful poem.

I've always found gocompare to be more expensive. The meerkats have been the most useful. And half price pizza as well!

Can your performance broker not provide an add-on service?

I had a track day car insured through a specialist motorsport broker and they were able to add our mundane family cars to the policy at significantly less than all the comparison websites. Might be worth a try.

Would you mind sharing what broker it was? Mine used to do that but now stated can’t due to stricter underwriting

It’s all a game - run the details through them all and go with the cheapest / one that suits best - it’s no more complex than that really.
