Car Insurance Comparison Sites

[TIGHTCHOKE]

My car insurance is due for renewal early in March.

 

I ventured on to a couple of the Comparison Sites and filled in my details.

 

MoneySuperMarket.com was the first to offer a good quote and the best deal was with Swinton.

 

The comparison site directed me to Swinton and a phone number.

 

Contacted Swinton and confirmed all of the details that I had previously entered on to the comparison site.

 

 

 

GUESS WHAT?

 

 

 

The quote went up by £45.00, I queried this and the young lady answering my question was unable to account for the increase.

 

I thanked her for her efforts and suggested we were both wasting our time.

 

 

 

I then went to the next offer from MoneySuperMarket.com, this was with the Halifax.

 

I was again redirected and ended up speaking with a chap in India, the difference was this time the quote went down by just over a pound!

 

I am now insured through the Halifax!
