And I'd also argue that because it's a _renewal_ quote, that I've already paid them to find me the best deal. My point is that I wouldn't argue if there was €50/€100 in the difference, because you'd probably come across a discrepancy in the level of cover to account for it. But double the price is a farce.

It is a free and open market with each insurer trying to cherrypick what they perceive to be profitable business. Now, do you geddit? Edit; Also, if you don't take the broker's offering, you pay them nothing, so what harm has been done.

I don't have a huge amount of free time to go shopping for insurance quotes, therefore I engage a broker, and pay their broker fees. So when they come to me with a renewal quote that's almost double what I could source myself, I do question what I'm paying them for. Now, geddit?
