Just saved £90

Today I got my renewal for home and contents from Direct Line. £355

Not happy with the price I shopped around but every time I change policy I have to pay my mortgage company £25 to read the policy.

Any way cheapest I could find was £285 + the above £25.

Rang DL and asked if they could beat it..

To keep me being loyal they offered me 25% discount £265.

It pays to ask...

Last year I paid £317

it is suprising how that £25 tends to keep people loyal, we changed companies this year and saved over £200!

though is it me or are all car insurace companies starting to be pretty much the same, exspesive!

must do that too, when mine comes around again.. save £50 last time, but i think the savings can be better if you work a bit harder
