Funny how adverts on the TV actually mimic real life. Heard the one about the comparison with a fishing tale and the big juicy worm to catch the punter, then the Keep net once your on board. Well thats how it works folks. Renew with your existing insurer at your financial peril. EXAMPLE. Renewal quote £333.04. Premium quote with SAME insurer but on the comparison site £174.52. You figure it out! And I used the same details for both. Existing insurer even managed to reduce their renewal premium by £30. Deal or no deal. You figure it out!
Moral to this story. Shop around, each and every time and make the power of the internet work for you.
