Absolute extortion. No convictions, crashes or anything else to put up my insurance but found Kwik Fit charging me £846 as opposed to under £200 a year for car insurance (£91 as opposed to £18 a month). They claimed that there panel of insurers provided them with a "more competitive renewal price". Do not automatically renew insurance with them (for the first time in years I missed the small print "do not automatically renew" box). Even when I went to cancel they charged me £170 for one month including cancellation fees, which after my complaining they reduced to £95. Be very cautious if you insure with Kwik Fit. Their panel of insurers are very limited and Kwik Fit will not quibble about a £700 hike in your annual bill.
