Use A Comparison Website To Obtain A Cheap Home Insurance Quote
Have you ever used an insurance comparison website? Now I am unsure, of course, as to how you will have answered this question but I would guess that the majority of people would have said yes. I have to say that I think they are fantastic. Why do I think this? Because I have managed to save a lot of money by using these types of sites over the last couple of years. In this article I will be describing about the way in which I use them.
Now I am not a financial salesman and therefore I am not attempting to sell you anything. I actually run stuttering therapy courses here in the UK and I am also involved in a company that offers an affordable DVD authoring service.
A good example of my use of insurance comparison sites would be the way in which I recently managed to save over £70 on my home insurance. At the beginning of June I received the renewal quote for the home insurance. The amount that they were quoting me was slightly higher than last year but I suppose you have to accept this.
I knew what I was going to do, in any case, whatever the premium had shown; I was going to put in my relevant details into one or two of the insurance comparison websites. I duly did this and low and behold there were three companies who were able to beat my renewal premium. The cheapest quote was a fully sixty pounds cheaper for the same level of cover.
This was not exactly a surprise to me as I have had similar successes on numerous previous occasions. So did I go ahead and take up this lower quote? No. Why not? Well I wanted to save even more money and therefore decided to contact my current insurer to see of they could offer me an even cheaper price! I phoned them and said:
“I have received your home insurance renewal quote but have managed to obtain a better quote by using one of those comparison sites. It was substantially lower that the price that your company has quoted. I am phoning you as I would rather keep the insurance with your company as I have been very impressed with the level of customer service that I have received. Are you able to beat or possibly match their premium?”
Guess what? They did match it – how cool is that? That is what I call one heck of a result.
Now I have decided to instruct a firm of cost reduction consultants in a quest to save even more money.
