It's because we knew you were lying. How could you ring us up if your phone was stolen? You bloody fraudster.

Whilst not exactly 'random' some insurance companies target different markets when it comes to insurance, especially motor insurance. Some insurers, believe it or not see their niche in high risk insurance, so if you are, say, a drunken taxi driver with a few bans and points on your licence, then they will give you the best deal (if you can get any others). Others will give a higher weighting to your postcode, age, insurance record, whatever, so that's why, as someone said before that it's horses for courses, what's good for A may not be best for B.
As for Insure and Go, sometimes you find that because of different insurers' priorities, even with a significant discount, they may not be the best deal, but there's no reason to think it isn't a genuine discount. It's just that without the discount, they choose not to be particularly competitive.
Sorry if I'm being dull, but whilst hardly an expert in the insurance industry, that's how I understand it to work.

I think I should get some good reputation points for this thread because whlst it may have an obscure link to The Mighty Shrimpers by pooling our knowledge we have managed to save a few quid. Everyone is getting a few pints on me so get in there and green me up lads and lasses!:)

You mean Quidco.... You register there, then use the links they have to access the Pru website. Get a quote and if it's what you want, complete the transaction. About a day later (maybe 2) check 'my earnings' in the quidco site to confirm the transaction has been tracked. If has has good, if not, make sure you contact quidco and inform them. After the policy has been running for a while (mine was 2 months), £130 get paid out to quidco and the status goes to either 'Recieved or paid' (can't remember). Then you can transfer it to you bank account - Bingo...
I can't be bothered to think why the Pru wanna pay those sums of money, but who cares - If the quote is competative in the first place, then the extra £130 is a real bonus.
I've used quidco loads and things have always been tracked and paid. Last night I just purchased Car Breakdown with Green Flag which means another £20 in my Quidco Bin!
