Annual Renewal today from Privilege £342.00. I thought this fair enough but decided to go to GoCompare.Com to check it. They suggested the cheapest price I could get was £198 from the same firm I am already with (Privilege) ....!!!!

Called Privilege and got through to their 'Loyalty Team' who actually knew I had been looking on GoCompare (they must have access to this) and said calmly 'we will match it'.

Beware of these firm and banter like mad, is my advice.

(See Sky thread from last month).

I hope this comes in useful to some of you, in the months ahead.

I followed the MSE guide and got my insurance from £350 down to £220. I then got quidco plus £30 cashback. It definitely pays to shop around for an hour, it saved me £160.

absolutely, once they have reeled you in as a new customer, on a great price, they are not interested in looking after you, up to you to renegotiate.

I know Martin Lewis gets some flack from Chit Chat but it's a decent site and does what it says.

One nasty trick Insurance companies use is auto renewing without your permission (well technically it is with your permission when you agree to the T/C.) You have to agree in writing 30 days before the policy expires or you are liable for the year. I was hit with this the year before and why it was £350. The same trick is on my current policy although I can telephone to cancel.

Just be careful.
