Where Do You Live?


State:



Have you ever obtained a quote on one of the car insurance comparison sites? Did you manage to save money by using it? Now I am not sure as to how the readers of this article have answered this question, I however have just saved myself a small fortune after using such a site and in this article I will be expaining just how I did it; I hope you enjoy the read.

I must admit that I was slightly dubious about using the comparison websites as I believed that they were just some sort of scam. I thought in this way as I believed that they were being paid by the insurance companies to promote their quotes etc.

Anyway I am now going to go back to writing about the way in which I managed to save money. The annual car renewal papers arrived in the post and the price was some what similar as to what I had paid last 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. I now decided to treat myself to 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 cheap calls rates; who knows they may even compare “external doors” websites in the future!

I am not sure about you but I will definitely be using a comparison site again in the future.

If however the above does not work for you then you could appoint a group of cost reduction experts to devise a 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.
