My home insurance renewal came through yesterday...they wanted £34 a month.
Last night I phoned them and said ''I would'nt be renewing as they had increased my premium by £11 per month''.
They asked if I'd had a better quote...I told them I had'nt, at that point.
He asked how much I expected to pay..and I said..no more than last year.. (£23 pm)
He then said..''seeing that I had'nt made claim...they would like to retain my business and could offer me the same cover for £23.40 pm.''
He said that ''last years price was an introductory offer 33% off...''
I told him if ..''it stayed at £23 and not a penny more ...I would'nt even compare prices.''
I renewed there and then at £23.00
It's a buyers market ...the AA will tell you they have scanned the market and that these are the best two quotes available for you...dont believe a word of it.
Moneysupermarket...compare the market...try them all...they will beat the AA handsdown... and then, as Eddie says...go direct...and squeeze them somemore..!
