had my renewal in from a local broker at £333,fair enough I thought, tried hughes, abbey and a couple of the quidco links, managed to get it down to £248, phoned my broker and I quote "oh yes the company you are with is willing to price match any quote" so they matched it..............
so a few days later, I googled for car insurance northern ireland and came up with www.quotezone.co.uk .......... filled it in as per other screenscraper sites, it came up with endsleigh at £199....................
so I'm thinking theres no way my broker will match....................yep they did so my renewal has dropped from £333 to £199
apologies if quotezone has been mentioned before its been a long weekend and I'm too tired to dig through!
one final thing quinn direct were a WASTE OF TIME, £750 they came in at lol!!

confused.com produced an unbeatable quote from Endsleigh for my wife also.
Must remember quotezone come renewal time.0 -
Well done!
This year for the first time ever my best quote was with AA - they'd always been silly money before. Just shows it's def worth shopping around

Cheapest is not always best I have found to my cost. Only if and when you make a claim do you find that out."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Very true. If you have a brand new car - if it is written off or stolen at say six months old, many insurers will only give you the value of the car - that could be £10000 on a £15000 car.
Some insurers will give you 'new for old' therefore you will get the value of the new car. Worth asking the question...0 -
have to agree with missile, cheapest isn't always best, but if you can use it as a big stick to beat your current insurer with then its always a bonus, i was reluctant to change brokers, so I'm glad they were sensible enough to pricematchNorn Iron Club Member #64
