Renewing car insurance?

My car insurance is coming up for renewal and I was going to start ringing around other insurers to get a better quote. I got a quote from my current insurer for €750.

Don't forget to ring your own company to beat them down. Every renewal quote includes some fat that they will deduct without much effort.

Don't quote stupid numbers when ringing around, they will all be in the same ballpark for someone with your profile so be realistic. If you mention a crazy low number that you claim someone else has quoted, they won't bother budging a cent from their 'official' quote because they will see you as a time-waster.
