Leaving the AA...

I've just moved our car insurance from the AA to Swinton - saving around £30 a year and with better coverage with regard to courtesy cars if your own car is written off. (the Swinton's basic policy is very spartan, but I added on the features I wanted, such as legal cover, and it still came out cheaper).

Try visiting http://www.moneysupermarket.com if you need to cut your insurance and want to compare prices.

I've moved from the AA to Auto Aid, which saves nearly a hundred quid a year. The main difference is that with Auto Aid, you have to pay for the repair and then make a claim afterwards. As long as you're disciplined enough to do that and not forget, it's amazing value for money at £29 a year including relay and home start (though there is a max of £45 that they'll pay on home start).

Interestingly enough, when I told the AA I was going to cancel, they instantly offered me free home start for a year.

As the year moves round and other insurance policies come up for renewal, I shall be running them though the comparison web site as well.
