car insurance

[gWaPito]

I found out this summer that I made a mistake staying loyal to the same home and motor insurance company, I wont mention no names but, it start with Direct and ends in Line . I made 2 claims last winter, first I have made in years. I then had my premium renewal in August, it had gone up by 115% I questioned this and was told it was because of my claim. I looked on gocompare.com. Best thing I ever did. My premium went from £60 per month to £17.50. My lesson learnt. Always compare each and every year. Its not like the old days Walking round insurance brokers on a Saturday afternoon. We got gocompare! They saved me a few quid

All my life I have checked the renewal premiums when my car / motorcycle have come due. New customers nearly always get a better deal that loyal existing ones.

In Spain a few years ago I called Linea Directa when I got my renewal as it appeared quite high. I gave a false name but everything else correctly, they quoted 20% than the renew they had sent me. When I told them who I was, they said I was being dishonest by giving a different name. After arguing with them, they offered the renewal with the 20% less. Needless to say, I went elsewhere.
