Just had my annual email from confused.com ready for my renewal next month, and I've sorted out a new policy. My current insurer (SAGA) wasn't offered on there this time, so I had a look at the first few on the list, and decided to go for Halifax this time. They weren't quite the cheapest, but there was only a few quid difference, so not enough to worry about. I've been banking with them for decades, and also have house and contents insurance with them, so it made sense to keep everything in one place. Also, I reduced the excess to just £100 (voluntary excess = £0, compulsory excess = £100) and that didn't seem to make much of a difference to the cost, so a no-brainer.
I thought last year was pretty good, at £18 per month, but this year is only £13.42 (with a £12.14 initial payment) so it appears I have reached the sweet spot of being old enough to be a careful driver, but not so old that I'm a bleedin' liability on the road...
As if that wasn't enough of a bargain, I will also receive a £20 Halfords voucher from confused.com
Today has been a good day.............
