InsuranceInsuranceI got my car insurance renewal a few days ago, and it had gone up from £45 pm to £48 so I thought I would check to see if I could get it any cheaper.
Anyway, went onto the mear cat site and OMG - £12.50 pm for more or less the same cover with M ar c & S p enc (no breakdown cover automatically included, but that would only be a couple of pounds a month if I wanted it). I was absolutely delighted and really couldn't believe it, although actually afterwards I felt cross with myself that I hadn't done it before So, the moral of this story is to check the market every time you get an insurance renewal notice. I certainly will. Helen xx

Re: InsuranceHave you ever tried Mini's own insurance. Ali has her Mini insured through them and is very pleased with the deal. Might be worth a look.

The insurance companies will give you a good deal for the first year, then up your premium and hope that you are too lazy to search for a better deal when it's time to renew.

Re: InsuranceJust a little postscript to this thread, and absolutely nothing to do with frugality, but I really wanted to mention it.
The co mpa rison site I used has a promotion of certain cat toys ....m e er ones.... I am sure you have all seen the ads! Well, I have to say that I would have been proud to have been part of the 'think tank' on this one. The e mails I have received regarding my toy have absolutely left me rocking with laughter. I can track it by a video thing - and for a while (I guess until it was verified) it showed it being waved off in a wheelbarrow in the small village...at the moment it has arrived in Dover and is with the post cat! So incredibly clever, extremely funny and so imaginative! Well done them!! Helen xx

Re: Insurance
I have received my annual quote for home insurance, paying monthly x 12 all in £800 per annum, I have been on comparison websites and decided to go with tes and co, so I rang my provider to tell them I was no longer going to insure the home contents and buildings with them, when asked why I told them it was far too expensive and that I had been on different sites and could get the same excluding a bicycle for the £210, the lady who was very nice asked if I knew about their genuine match policy, of course I hadn't heard of it I am sure it is printed by elves somewhere anyway the long and short of it is they are matching my quote, in fact £10 cheaper £200 included the bicycle, on the one hand I have saved £600 per year and am thrilled on the other hand now I have had time to think about it I am furious that they would have happily taken the £800.
Re: InsurancePerchy, that is what really annoys me, that companies will take money from you without offering you a better deal, but will drop the price when you tell them you are switching

Re: Insurance
I have really got a bee in my bonnet about this now, how can they do it, I think I was so flabbergasted that I just didn't really take on board the bigger picture, obviously I am pleased exactly the same policy including a bicycle £600 cheaper, but like you say if I hadn't had a look around the web I wouldn't have had a quote to give them, and it would have stayed at the original renewal When I told her I was leaving because it was far too expensive she said she was disgusted at her fuel going up |
