Car Insurance ; this is a first
22 January 2008
I knew that the insurance for my car was due for renewal, so I’d already searched and as I’d expected found that the cost had gone up. This is thanks to the bump I had last year, which is going to cost me for a few years. I won’t even mention the Drive Assist complaint, which left me (temporarily) £155 down. You can see more here if you really want to know!
I always shop around for our insurance using Go Compare, which searches all the insurers for you without you having to input all your details over and over. By doing this I usually make a substantial saving, but not so this year. I had my renewal through and it’s way below the cheapest quote I had received. However, this is the first time in many years that this has happened and I won’t be lured in to the trap of renewing before I’ve compared. It hasn’t necessarily made things nay easier, because changing insurers is so simple, but it’s good to now that on this occassion customer loyalty has meant something.
