Car insurance ( I know, again)
« on: 18 March 2013, 16:18:50 »
For those of you who really don't think that you can save money by ditching your current insurer, please think again. I have just saved £190 by switching from aviva to direct line.
I told the young man from aviva, with whom I have been a customer for 15 years, that I wasn't getting at him or aviva, it's common practice for existing customers to pay high premiums to subsidise new customers.
Here's the rub...he totally agreed with me and said, if direct line bump it up next year, come back to us for a quote. It will probably come down by a couple of hundred quid.
What can you say to that?

You can't recommend any one company. They're all at it. It's just a case of year by year and taking the time to hunt around.


He says after 15 years withe same insurer :-[

Yes, I did. But you're such a tight git, I was trying to get you to part with some of it. ;D
Besides, you're never going to get cheap insurance living in the rough area you do.

Im with Chaucer now for the 2nd yr. I tried everyone and all the ''comparers'' when the renewal came in but they were only something like £13 more expensive than the next quote so I stayed with them as I was more than happy with the service after my accident. I do think its just a matter of shopping around each yr and it doesnt really take that long to do it but unless your getting a big saving sometimes its worth sticking with a company you know gives good customer service. Well thats my 2 bob's worth anyway! :y

Is your job description a help or hindrance when it comes to insurance cost? ???
