Insurance is a revolving and moving platform, just like shares and money markets. If you are using a broker they are adding their premium to the price given to the by the Insurer. The volume discount may or may not be passed on. Although Insurance companies will deny itf, if they have claim in quantity for certain models premiums will rise, even though you as the individual may not have had an accident or claim.
Where labour costs and parts increase the insurer will again increase the premium. Specialist cars may be dropped by their approved repair organisation or indeed if the car has to go to a (for example ) BMW approved body shop, your quote may increase.
If your personal circumstances have change in any way it can affect your policy. Example you are in a certain post code a then 10 or 20 cars of your general type are stolen. You dont know about it, however the insurance business does and whack up goes the premium if you if were not affected personally.
The quote is virtually "on the day" unless guaranteed for a fixed period. I have found by negotiating well before the actual policy is due has served me well.
I also asked for loyalty discount, using the same broke for 2 cars for the last 11 years, I got a small offer which I took.

Re: Alpina Insurance
I just renewed my insurance for my D5 for me and the missus. It was £380 last year with Tesco insurance but they just quoted me £278 after a 10% reduction for being a club card member.
I check on the comparison sites and the cheapest quote was £340 with Hastings. So Tesco for the win.

Re: Alpina Insurance
I've got both of mine with Tesco currently - they seem to be quoting very competitively on Alpinas at the moment.The Hybrid wrote: ↑Tue May 10, 2022 1:41 amI just renewed my insurance for my D5 for me and the missus.
