So my Insurance is coming up in February and I like to be ahead of the game and not get any surprises. Bit of a lifestyle change for me this year though and a few mods required on the old policy, so let the fun begin.
When modding my policy I always do one mod at a time and re-run the quote to see how it affects my price. I always start with the things to come off first, like points or claims that are over 5 years, then job changes, etc.
So my renewal (if it were in the next 30 days) same as last year is - £321.44
Then with the GF's 6 points off - £321.44
Then with the self employed job change from salesman in electronics to engineer in engineering - £318.38
Then if I decide I want to be a director of my firm - £319.74 (scratch that, I'll stick with rubbing rag engineer)
Then if I commute to and from a single place of work, instead of leaving the car at home on the drive where it's nice and safe - £305.67 WTF?
I'd love to know how they work their prices out???? I once put my best mate on as my civil partner and got it miles cheaper. I nearly wrote a letter of complaint to them for sexual orientation discrimination.
I also get cheaper quotes if the car lives on the drive instead of in the garage.
All prices quoted were with the same company.
Remember folks, always try a few different options when doing your Insurance to see what gets you the best deal (but don't tell porkies on your renewal).
