Obtain Cheaper Home Insurance By Using An Insurance Comparison Website

Have you ever used an insurance comparison website? I would guess that the majority of the readers of this article will have answered yes to this question. I have to say that I think they are fantastic. Why do I think this? Because I have managed to save a lot of money by using these types of sites over the last couple of years. In this article I will be describing about the way in which I use them.

Now I am not a financial salesman and therefore I am not attempting to sell you anything. I actually offer a DVD duplication service in the UK, I am also involved in a company that sells composite doors and I offer Comet Voucher Codes on a part-time basis .

A good example of my use of insurance comparison sites would be the way in which I recently managed to save over £70 on my home insurance. I received the renewal notice in the post at the start of June for my buildings and contents insurance. The premium that they had quoted was a little higher than what I had paid last year, despite the fact that I had not made a claim.

I knew what I was going to do, in any case, whatever the premium had shown; I was going to put in my relevant details into one or two of the insurance comparison websites. I duly did this and low and behold there were three companies who were able to beat my renewal premium. The best quote was in fact £60 cheaper for the same cover.

This was not exactly a surprise to me as I have had similar successes on numerous previous occasions. So did I go ahead and take up this lower quote? No. Why not? Well I decided to give my current insurer a chance to out bid them! I phoned them and said:

“I have received your home insurance renewal quote but have managed to obtain a better quote by using one of those comparison sites. It was substantially lower that the price that your company has quoted. I am phoning you as I would rather keep the insurance with your company as I have been very impressed with the level of customer service that I have received. Would you be able to match or beat their quote?”

Guess what? They did match it – how cool is that? That is what I call one heck of a result.

Now I have decided to instruct a firm of cost reduction specialists in a quest to save even more money.
