Martin's Money tips has a few tips
I seem to have proved one of them I was sceptical about
1. Never auto-renew. Loyalty is expensive. - we probably already know this
2. Don't assume third party is the cheapest
3. Getting insurance 20-26 days ahead is the optimum time and can save £100s
This is the one I doubted. Got prices a week or so ago. Now my cheapest renewal is £20 more
4. Got more than one car? Multi-car insurance can sometimes save £100s – even if you’ve different renewal dates
5. Adding a responsible 2nd or 3rd driver can cut costs, eg, your dad or Aunt Dot
6. See if legitimately tweaking your job title could save £100s
7. Beware paying monthly – you're essentially taking an expensive loan
8. You can switch mid-year, so don't automatically wait for renewal
9. Get on the electoral roll – it matters
10. Consider if you need add-ons such as protected no-claims or breakdown cover
I was with M&S last year.
Renewal £174. Seemed high. Cheapest online was £125
Asked them if they could match.
No but they will give me £50 in M&S vouchers. All fine as the boss goes in there regularly.
Next year I will be on the case just under a month to go. Will also try the cash back sites for the first time
Cheapest I had was with the RAC. Must be good, mustn't it ?
Reading reviews said not
