    suppose unlimited doesn't work for everyone, suppose i know no different - as it works best for me & is cheaper

    if i buy anything i haven't got to double check its covered, and rebuild is automatically covered also

    As some one on here said the Halifax had a 5* rating for Buildings insurance I got aquote from then and it was over £150 more than my re-newal dispite having an online discount of 20% and up to 30% for no claims (I havent had any in the last 5 years). Can this be right ?

    have recieved a renewal quote from the aa, "we have checked our panel of insurerers to give you the best price and include a discount for being an aa member" all very well but confused.com comes up with the aa with no aa membership discount at a lot less! surely this is fraud, I understand to check all renewals for deals but I think this is far worse this is for home insurance.

    confused.com will give you just a quick guide with basic info that you put in yourself...so it is only a guide..If you see a company quote that appeals to you then check the quote with the company directly. You can then make sure you have all things covered that you require...some extras you might require depending on your circumstances. Us personally, we have just switched to budget insurance having weighed up OUR risk factors..
    Previously have paid high insurance premiums and have taken Martins advice and taken risk into the equation this time around.

    Isn't it the case that which ever Insurance company you decide to go with someone has had a bad experience with them and wouldnt recommend them !
