Car insurance

[watervole]

 When I got my car insurance renewal from ASDA, it was £1869 (and they could no longer include breakdown cover in that as the car was getting older).

Thank goodness I shopped around.  My new premium is under £800 and includes RAC Roadside.  And my new insurer has a telephone number.  ASDA used to stress me out terribly as you could only communicate by email - and they didn't always reply even then.  Most things had to be done by logging onto the policy and manually editing it to change anything (like a new driver) and I just hated it.

I'm now with IGO4, via Moneysupermarket.com

If that sounds like a bit of an advert, I guess it is.  Saving £1000 means a lot to us at the moment.  And having an insurer where I can also speak to a human being (I phoned up to ask a question about one part of the policy and had an instant helpful answer) is important to me.

I've let the AA get my insurence for me from the start of my motoering life,2006, but I always cross check both Money Supermarket and Go compare before phoneing to accept the offer. So far there has not been more than a £5 pound difference between what the AA offers and the AA is usually cheaper, I'm paying about £780 this year. That does not inclde breakdown assistance though, I pay the AA £36 pounds a year for that.
