Car insurance

Submitted by garan on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 20:13

Just been trawling through the car insurance websites and managed to save almost £100 by switching companies. On top of that I should get £45 back via Quidco. I'm now going to be insured with Swiftcover.com who want me to print out my own documents which is fine with me if it saves a bundle! I'll save the PDF off until I actually need it which if my car tax is renewed electronically is probably never. That makes it greener too..

Changing energy providers

I've just been putting in my meter readings for my EDF energy account and figured it wouldn't harm to find out how much I may be able to save elsewhere. So I went to http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ and clicked on their link to Moneysupermarket. I get £30 cashback following a successful switch and Martin Lewis gets a couple of quid for the website as it's an affiliate link. Quidco would only be getting me £20 back.

I typed in my usage top of the list on both Moneysupermarket and energyhelpline.com is ScottishPower's Online Energy Saver 4 account.

Interestingly EDF, my current provider were number two with their 'Online 5' tariff. So a quick call to EDF to ask the question 'Can you swap my tariff' was answered unsurprisingly with a 'we can't do that; it's for new customers only'. So a couple of clicks later I'm on my way to their competitor with a probable £30 in my back pocket for taking the trouble.

Now it's time for the car insurance renewal...
