Renewed my buildings & contents insurance after receiving Aviva's renewal quote of £119. Got a quote from LV for £98 but they wanted me to install a burglar alarm at my expense!! Don't know why they don't offer options on that but they must be losing a lot of business by making it compulsory.


Then I noticed that Halifax Bank, who quoted approx. £138, were offering a £50 refund after 3 months I think, and Quidco who were offering £50 cash back - £38 net! Not only that, Quidco had offered me £10 bonus cashback in an e-mail so £28!


Then, and I appreciate not everyone is a Halifax Bank customer as I am, but it may still be possible for non-customers to get this discount, they were also offering a 10% discount if you signed up for the insurance via the Halifax Bank website- this 10% was on Quidco's website. This gave £13.80 off.


NET COST AFTER 4 DISCOUNTS - £14.20 FOR A YEAR'S INSURANCE!


I do not know if all or any of the discounts are available now.

    Halifax insurance is 25% off on the telephone and you can have their insurance even if you are not a customer and get the discount!
