Home Insurance Quote

[Maydup]

I shopped around using a couple of compare sites for my buildings and contents insurance and the best quote came back from the same company I have my renewal with, but at £70 less than online. i phoned them up to ask them to match the quote but the best they could do was to offer me £20 off.

I didn't renew my current policy but took out a new one online with the same company. Same cover, same excess, same debit card. Have they all gone barking mad?

the first thing i always do whenever i get any renewals is call the company and tell them that unless they drop the quote I will jump ship, they nearly always manage to find a new quote substantially reduced
eg Admiral for car renewal £282 phone call to leave quote £219
various property renewals landlords insurance with direct line were around £600, now all around £300

2 years ago direct Line to renew Porsche insurance £700+, one call later £472

best one of all, not mine but my brothers consultant surgeons insurance for the year £51,000.... couple of calls later £27,000 !!!!

these companies pray that people dont question the renewals and just blindly renew, its just legal theft really
