I must be missing something:

Renewal quote from Zurich: 293.82
Cheapest at Moneysupermarket was:  Sainbury's @169.29
Zurich came up: 256.06

Possibly !

I saved nearly £100 this year moving from Tesco ( and I thought I had a decent
deal ) to M & S but you must be careful to check the small print. I'm not sure
of the reason as I'd seen several reports that car insurance was going to
increase this year. I guess it's just a very competitive market.

Renewals are normally more expensive than getting a new quote. It's the price
some people are prepared to pay for being lazy.

Check the small print.

Some cheaper premiums dont provide a free courtesy car should your car be
off the road being repaired after an accident.

I had a similar situation with Zurich at my last renewal. The renewal
premium quoted was approaching £800. When I went to confused.com Zurich came
up as one of the better quotes, but for around £400. This was for the
exactly the same product (which *does* include the courtesy car) minus a few
frills (e.g. European Recovery). Even adding the frills back in only pushed
the premium up to around £450. I just took out a new policy (they handled a
claim a few years ago very well) and let the existing one expire.

So just before I was lazy and renewed I ran a TSB check and they were
no different!

and then I did a Zurich quote and got £189.02...

bugger that I thought and phoned... their 0800 number (!)...

woman was very good, could not understand difference, offered to check
it out and phone back.

She did and we settled on 212 with some extras, which were standard on
my renewal...

They really need checking.
