Can you advise your readers to haggle when renewing their car insurance?

Folks shouldn't just accept their car insurance renewal quote. Last year I went to LV. This year's renewal was an 8 per cent increase for exactly the same conditions. I went on a comparison site and obtained a quote from LV for couple of pounds more than last year. Phoned them with details and they gave me a new price, actually a few pence cheaper than last year.
