I have had my house and contents renewal quote with LV. The new quote is a bit cheaper than last year but is it still worth haggling ? I would like to stay with them as they have a good reputation. The other option is perhaps cancel my policy and buy again using cashback.

    Use both your options - see what the price will be as a new customer then get on to them and see if they will beat it by the cashback you can get.


    If not you know what to do!


    (If you go down the new customer route, then don't use the word "cancel" - tell them you want thepolicy to "lapse")

    You can haggle with anyone. The worst they can say is no.

    My wife hates it when im in a shop and ask for a discount. But if you dont ask you don't get.

    They offered me £12 short of the price less cashback so will renew online.

    Mine is well trained and plays her role very well now :beer:

    Have to say been particularly successful recently and been asking for much bigger discounts and getting them when walking away.
