Default That time of year Insurance?

Insurance due up in June, current insurer Hastings direct sent a new multi car quote Of £629.27, realising and forgot I am a retired Civil Servant I decided to get a quote from Boundless part of the CSMA, anyway got a quote for £556.91
so rang up Hastings to tell them I would not be renewing, why is that then sir, well I can get it for £72.36 cheaper through a Civil Service Insurance, which goes through the Liverpool And Victoria Insurance Company.

I don't think I can match that says he! tapping away, he comes back and says I can match that price, that's fine by me I replied, he then says is there anything I can do for you, being cheeky I say to him well! could you knock of a couple more quid, let me have a look he replied yes there is a bit of leeway there how does £552.00 sound, I am happy with that.

That's a good saving, but no doubt Dawn will have spent the saving by the weekend.

I dropped mine by £100ish merely by calling and querying the quote as it had gone up significantly. Bearing in mind last years insurance cost me just shy of £200 the £100 i saved was what the insurance company had added for no apparent change in circumstances. Robbing gits

At this year's renewal point I had two cars. An MG ZT CDTI and an MG ZS 120 1.8. Aviva wanted to autorenew my multicar insurance for £950, up from £740 last year. No convictions no accidents. I thought no way am I paying that. So after a bit of shopping around I've managed to get them both insured separately with two different companies for less than £550. It's left me enough to get myself a ZT 1.8t to do up for this covid lockdown that I won't be out of till mid July. Moral of the story, never autorenew your insurance, especially with Aviva. They will rob you.

Never accept your renewal. Renewal quotes are always far more expensive than new business as they rely on complacency and never reward loyalty. It is so easy to shop around for insurance and save a fortune.

I always buy my insurance via a cashback provider such as Quidco or Topcashback. I recently re-insuranced the 75 and our Mazda 6. Both cars were on an Admiral Multicar policy (what a waste of time...) with the renewal coming in at £100 more than last year's premium. I've now insured the cars through esure on two separate policies for over £100 less than my combined renewal and will earn £90 cashback via Quidco on top.
