If you’re a driver, you’ll be guaranteed to get lots of motor related bills each year but the biggest?  No doubt it’s your insurance….  so how do you save money fast and slash your insurance bill totally legally?

Here is what happened to me…

My insurance renewal dropped into my inbox last week with a “You don’t need to do anything, it will automatically be renewed on the 2nd September” note.  It was £497!!!  I’d had a bump earlier in the year and it had gone up accordingly.

So.. how did I manage to slash over £150 off this bill with one call?

Save money fast in two easy steps

Step One

First I went onto a comparison website – fortunately, I’d done this last year so most of my details had been saved – I just had to add the accident and check for any other changes. Then I ran the search.

It came up with some much cheaper deals but be careful – the cheapest isn’t always the best!  Make sure that it offers at least what your original insurance offers in terms of things like no claims bonus, courtesy car, windscreen cover, personal accident, legal assistance and breakdown cover.

The deal with all the same things on the original insurance came out at £338.91 – in fact, this deal had a courtesy car included which mine didn’t.

Step Two

Then I rang the original insurers back.  They said they would put the quote thru again and this time came up with £334 and added the courtesy car!  Result!  That was over £150 and a free courtesy car thrown in – all for one phone call.

If you have any quotes like this to do – this exercise is worth doing to save money fast!
