I think you're confusing cost with value there!
Haha - so right
2014 MY 3.0 V6S Roadster
Subtle enhancements to create the car I wanted from SVR nose cone, 400 series side skirts & customised 'design' rear bumper, to heated SVR steering wheel and more
Been with Admiral for over 20 years. Last year it was £850. Now they want a whisker under 1400. No changes at all from last year in terms of the policy.
GoCompare say the AA will do it for 820 so I think a weekend on the phone is in order.
So much for customer loyalty unless they can miraculously match it.
My plan is to get a cheaper daily driver later this year or early next (either an EV or a 1L like a puma or something). That will drop the jag mileage to 1500 a year (from 8000) by using it as a weekend car and hopefully that'll do the trick.

Don't drop the mileage too low or they'll think you're more of a risk bcause you don't "practice" much.
MY18 F-Type V8 R AWD in Glacier White
Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!
I'd still have the second car on the policy so my annual mileage will be about the same, just hoping the jag proportion of the premium will be a lot less.
Pleasantly surprised at my LV renewal price which, although a couple of hundred higher than last year (around half of that was due to a recent SP30), was considerably lower than all the other 'normal' companies I investigated.
Adding my partner reduces most quotes considerably.

I just got my renewal. Yikes.

Is getting a cheap daily driver going to leave you net better off than just paying a higher insurance premium in the jag ? (taking into account MOT, tax, insurance, depreciation on the cheap daily ?)
I have other circumstances meaning I'll need a car anyway to get a wheelchair in the back and my mum in the front. So might as well make it a cheap practical daily for that as well.
