Last year I paid £151 fully comp. with Swinton insurance. About a month ago they phoned and said they had a really competitive rewal price.... £305.
I immediately banged the phone on the desk a few times, and then told him that ... ''there was a problem with the line, and for a moment I thought you'd said £305.''
He assured me that this was a very good quote ... I then said that I was expecting his call, and that I had already been on Moneysupermarket.com to get an alternative quotes.
He then aked how much did I expect to pay .... ''Not a penny more than last year'' I said.
His best price then went from £305 to £251... with £100 cash back in 90 days.
..... that's £154 saving.
If you dont ask ... they wont offer... In the past 3 months I've saved about £450 from my car, house and breakdown insurance.
They are all having difficulty keeping their customers, so take advantage of the internet and get your alternative quotes, and tell your insurer what you are willing to pay.
Last week I told the AA that their £165 renewal price was far to much, and that the RAC will do it for a new customer at £71 ... they matched it.... another £94 saved..!
