Have you ever obtained a quote on one of the car insurance comparison sites? How did you find it? Now I am not sure about you but I have just managed to save myself a decent amount of money after using a comparison site.

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 thought in this way as I believed that they were being paid by the insurance companies to promote their quotes etc.

Anyway back to how I managed to save myself the cash. I received the renewal papers in the post and the price was very similar as to what I paid in the previous year. I had not made a car insurance claim in that period however I was quite happy with the price that they had quoted. The company also offered excellent customer service.

Even though I was happy with the quote I still decided to put my relevant details into one of the comparison sites.

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. It was now time for a pizza!

People have told me that there are no simple ways to make money but this definitely was one.

There are numerous other comparison type sites for example ones where they compare loans, and others where that compare home insurance.

There are even sites that offer such things as comparison prices for ”cheap holidays“; who knows they may even compare “composite door company” websites in the future!

I am not sure about you but I will definitely be using a comparison site again in the future.

If however the above does not work for you then you could appoint a group of business cost cutting experts to devise a cost reduction strategy.

Whichever option you take I hope you are successful at saving some cash, let’s face it in this financial climate we could all do with some extra money.
