    Can't be bothered arguing with you again. Suffice to say my 20 yrs experience and 6 as an underwriter tells me different.
    Again it's my opinion!
  • With my last car policy, it was cheapest if I had no additional excess.

    Buildings insurance, I've never checked. But with 3 claims in 17 years, that £170 saved (assuming the saving was the same every year) would have cost me quite a bit.

    In the case of my car insurance though, in my case it stayed the same price above £100 voluntary excess, all the way to £1000, but it got more expensive beneath that
    Paying on a cashback card, will clear in full
