My Vito Sport X insurance is up next month and my insurer kindly increased the premium from £340 to £380 because I hadn't claimed or otherwise been silly.
Straight on to a comparison site and the lowest quote was £250 fully comp with 17 yr NCB for myself and my wife as named drivers.
For a laugh I then asked for a quote adding my 18yo son. £3900.....

I just went for the £250 with no frills. I have no intention of claiming (famous last words).
What I don't get is why existing insurers buy new business and try and make it back with existing customers. It's not like the comparison sites are hard to use.

The enigma that is insurance.

Insurance companies make insane profits.

They rely on laziness to make money
