@Tony Abbott. What vehicle is that for please (ie. Panel Van or Camper or??? etc.)?

Mine is down from £960 last year to £660 this year with no commuting and 10% discount. Waiting to hear back about quote including commuting

I sense a more realistic stance from insurers this year, I may be wrong. My EV is now sub 250 quid for the year on renewel, down 120 beer tokens.

Over 1 million uninsured drivers now in the UK and the government setting up the motor insurance task force is hopefully having an effect.

1.1 million uninsured, around 650,000 unlicenced drivers who are by default uninsured even if they've bought a policy, around half a million untaxed...

Same price with commuting added. Fair enough!

I can never fathom the pricing.

I need commuting and business travel on my vehicles and as you say adding or taking stuff away sometimes makes no difference whatsoever. Business use added over a hundred quid to one vehicle and literally £3 to the other.

With the motorbike getting quotes with one, two or no insurance approved security devices also made no difference depending on what option you went for first.

Finger in the air job.

Insurers get their methods from Mystic Meg.

I've worked in the insurance industry for over 20years now. Don't try to understand it or even make sense of it, you will never succeed.

But when you do have to speak to someone in a contact centre, remember they aren't getting paid enough for you to shout at them. They are often working with out dated systems and aren't authorised to apply common sense.
