Save Cash By Using A Car Insurance Comparison Site

June 28, 2009 by amabq 

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 as to how the readers of this article have answered this question, I however have just saved myself a small fortune after using such a site and in this article I will be expaining just how I did it; I hope you enjoy the read.

I must admit that I was slightly dubious about using the comparison websites as I believed that they were just some sort 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 I am now going to go back to writing about the way in which I managed to save money. The annual car renewal papers arrived in the post and the price was some what similar as to what I had paid last year. In that period I had not submitted a claim but I was actually fairly 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 easy ways to make money but this definitely was one.

There are numerous other comparison type sites for example ones where they compare loans, I have heard that these are especially useful for people who need a no credit check loan.

There are even sites that offer such things as comparison prices for DVD replication companies.

I will certainly be using this type of service again in the future.
