home insurance

My dad is with the halifax, and has had iome insurance with them for over 15 years, up until 1 month ago he was paying £62 per month, when he went to renew his insurance this year they told him that he was paying far too much and offerd him the same insurance now for £22 per month.
Could he question his paying in the earlyier years or should he just leave it?.:confused:

    It was his choice not to look around or examine new products. So, in answer to your question, no.

    My Dad voted with his feet this year after I showed him how much he could save by moving co's.
    His contents and buidings renewal was going to be in the region of £760. I spent half an hour online and got him better cover for under £250. When he called the co to decline the renewal they went away and came back with £333.

    My Mum and Dad are too trusting and naive and think that by being a loyal customer you will get the best price.
    I have told them for years to shop around but they can't be bothered and just auto renew.
    I'm hoping that as I have helped them to make such a huge saving it has finally made them see that with a little effort and time there are usually savings to be made.
