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 about you but I have just managed to save myself a decent amount of money after using a comparison site.
I had not previously used a comparison website as I thought it may be some kind of scam. I am not sure why I had this opinion perhaps it was because I thought that the car insurance companies were in some way sponsoring the sites; I still believe that some of them are.
Anyway back to how I managed to save myself the cash. 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. The company also offered 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. Would you be 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 holidays“; who knows they may even compare “composite door company” 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 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.
