Have you ever used a car insurance comparison website? How did you find 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 had not previously used a comparison website as I thought it may be some kind 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 managed to obtain a cheaper quote on the internet at one of the comparison websites. 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 ”pet insurance“; who knows they may even compare “link building” websites 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 group of business cost cutting 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.
