During these rather harsh financial times I am sure that we could all do with some tips on how to save some extra money. In recent years, due to the internet revolution, there have been some massive savings to be had when renewing our car insurance, home and contents insurance and breakdown cover. I will be writing about how you can make these savings within this article.

For the purposes of this article I will be writing about people’s annual car insurance renewal – mainly because I have just had to renew my own auto insurance.

I am not an insurance specialist in fact I am just a regular guy from the UK who is involved in providing jobs in foster care, offering people quality external doors and stammering therapy.

Around two weeks I go I received my annual car renewal notice with the new premium. I was quite happy with the premium but I of course thought it was prudent to try to obtain an even lower price.

I decided to use a car insurance comparison website to see the prices that they could offer me. The cheapest price was in fact twenty pounds lower than what I had been quoted.

I then telephoned the company that I was already with and therefore the car insurance company that had sent me the renewal notice and told them that I had used a car insurance comparison site and that I had managed to obtain a quote that was £40 lower than what they had quoted. I asked them if they could offer me a cheaper quote than they had previously.

I went in with a lower price than what I had actually received as I knew they were never going to offer me the full reduction. They did come back with a lower premium that was in fact £30 off their original renewal price. What a bargain and what a saving!

I hope these tips help you in the same way that they have worked for me, please let me know how you get on. You never know those extra pounds that you save could help you to start saving towards a new car or perhaps a holiday – every penny counts, as they say – especially in a recession.
