Davey P Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Well, it's that time of year when thoughts turn to renewing my car insurance, and after receiving a renewal from Saga which increased the policy from £258 to £365 (cheeky gits! ) I spent half an hour shopping around on confused.com for a cheaper option. I decided to go with RAC this time, and after tweaking a few options such as reducing the excess to a compulsory £275 with zero voluntary contribution, and a protected NCB, the total cost for the year was £268 (so only a tenner more than last year - Result!). I'm paying monthly, and after an initial one-off £19.94 deposit it's £22.58 per month, which I think is a decent price. I could have saved just under 30 quid by paying in one installment, but I prefer to spread the cost over the year. I think I will get a £20 Halfords voucher from confused.com as well, so overall I reckon I've done OK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one of my current insurances through Money Supermarket via Topcashback and got £150 of discounts in addition to the cashback. I have another insurance through the Meerkats also with cashback. In each case the overall cost was the cheapest I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
