I’m happy with the cover provided and have been loyal to my insurer for many years.
Aviva’s quote was for comparable cover. I kept the conversation very friendly but gently ensured the person I spoke to understood I was in a position to move.
The result was that the renewal cost was reduced by just over £100. (Roughly 30%).
Having done this before, for fun I asked Mrs H to time this excercise. She reckoned that it took me 15 minutes. So a saving of £100 for a quarter of an hour’s work means that I am earning at a rate of £400 an hour net.
As my marginal rate of tax is 40%, my gross income before tax was (briefly!) £667 an hour.
I’ve posted this really to encourage others to have a go at saving on their insurance bills. As posters here have written before it’s worth a little bit of research.
And if it wasn’t dry January, I’d have cracked open a bottle to celebrate.
