How To Save Cash On Your Auto Insurance

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

In the current financial turmoil the majority of people are looking to cut costs and save some cash. There has never been a better time to save money on your various insurance renewals. In this article I will be explaining about the ways in which you can ensure you make these savings.

For the purposes of this article I will be writing about people’s annual car insurance renewal – mainly because I have just had to renew my own auto insurance.

I am not an insurance specialist in fact I am just a regular guy from the UK who is involved in web promotion, offering people cheap calls and stuttering therapy.

My annual renewal notice arrived in the post around two weeks ago. I was quite happy with the premium but I of course thought it was prudent to try to obtain an even lower price.

In an attempt to find a lower quote I went online to use a car insurance comparison website. The lowest price came out at £20 lower than what I had been quoted.

I then telephoned the company that I was already with and therefore the car insurance company that had sent me the renewal notice and told them that I had used a car insurance comparison site and that I had managed to obtain a quote that was £40 lower than what they had quoted. I asked them if they could offer me a cheaper quote than they had previously.

I went in with a lower price than what I had actually received as I knew they were never going to offer me the full reduction. They did come back with a lower premium that was in fact £30 off their original renewal price. Oh yes I felt so proud of myself!

I hope these tips help you in the same way that they have worked for me, please let me know how you get on. You never know those extra pounds that you save could help you to start saving towards a new car or perhaps a holiday – every penny counts, as they say – especially in a recession.

Save Money By Using An Insurance Comparison Site

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Have you ever used a car insurance comparison website? How did you find it? Now I am not sure about you but I have just managed to save myself a decent amount of money after using a comparison site.

I had not previously used a comparison website as I thought it may be some kind of scam. I am not sure why I had this opinion perhaps it was because I thought that the car insurance companies were in some way sponsoring the sites; I still believe that some of them are.

Anyway I am now going to go back to writing about the way in which I managed to save money. I received the renewal papers in the post and the price was very similar as to what I paid in the previous year. I had not made a car insurance claim in that period however I was quite happy with the price that they had quoted. I also rather liked the company that I was insured with as they do offer an excellent customer service.

Despite this I decided to put my details into one of the comparison websites and to my surprise some of the quotes were cheaper than what I had been offered with my current insurer.

Instead of just taking up one of these quotes I decided to contact my current insurer and stated the following:

“I have been insured with your company for the last three years and would like to stay with you. I have however been quoted a cheaper price via a car insurance comparison site. Are you able to match their price?”

To my surprise the company agreed and I felt like I had won a major victory. It was now time for a pizza!

People have told me that there are no simple ways to make money but this definitely was one.

There are numerous other comparison type sites for example ones where they compare loans, and others where that compare home insurance.

There are even sites that offer such things as comparison prices for DVD replication companies; who knows they may even compare “learn to play the guitar” sites in the future!

I will certainly be using this type of service again in the future.

If however the above does not work for you then you could appoint a cost cutting expert to devise a business cost reduction strategy.

Whichever option you take I hope you are successful at saving some cash, let’s face it in this financial climate we could all do with some extra money.
