Same here, they were competitive this just now but usually aren't.

 If you go for'confirm and buy' and then 'next', it seems to tell you
who the real insurance company is (Allianz Cornhill in my case). They
may give you a bit more confidence, or make you went to try another
broker who uses the same underwriter.

That's always been my experience, tbh I did the quote expecting the same
this time around, but I almost fell off my chair with shock as it looks
like a very good quote compared to almost everyone else.

That's why I'm wary.  It seems the only optional extra is protected
no-claims which is another 15%, so I'm trying to see if there is
anything else to be aware of.

I say all this with a touch of hypocrisy as I've renewed with my current
insurer for the last X years on the basis that they've been the
cheapest, I've never paid a lot of attention to what I'm getting other
than comprehensive cover.

I've yet to have a quote from them that didn't involve hysterical
laughter on my part. I'm up for renewal this year and only Direct Line
(my existing insurer) and Tesco are in the running at present.

YMMV.

Does anyone have experience of them?

Anything to be aware of? Seems Insurance is a minefield of small print
so I figure lowest price doesn't always equal best.

cheers,
Paul
