UK motor insurance first

For the first time in the UK, well certainly the first time I’ve heard this, there is a motor insurance company offering new customers the chance to cap their motor insurance premium for the next year to it’s the same as they pay the first year.

Funnily enough my car insurance is up for renewal in March and I’ve been sent an email from my current insurer. I’ve got 5 years no claims discount and I’m 31, I drive a 7 year old , 1.9 Diesel car and my renewal price Is £281.00, not bad I thought…

I decided to try a comparison web site and after completing my details I found a few quotes around £200, so I could in theory save around £80. The problem is can I really be bothered to go through the hassle of changing everything to a new insurer just to save myself less than £8 per month?! I suppose this is what insurers rely on; customer apathy…The thing for me is that I’ve got enough to do without having the hassle, and to be honest complete boredom, of changing car insurance!

With my current insurer everything renews automatically, I don’t have to do anything, apart from read the emails they send me. On the other hand a friend has just said that he’d never deal with them again because they were awful when his car was written off…I guess we all just hoping that we never have to deal with that situation.

I think I’ll get a few different quotes from other comparison sites, maybe a few insurance specialist sites. If I can’t save a decent amount then I’ll just leave my policy with Swiftcover, after all insurance can only get so cheap they’re not going to give it away!
