Car Insurance

Last year my premium with Hastings Direct was £494. Renewal @ £748

Thanks to Martin and the MSE insurance subsidiary. Got £468.73 with one of the UK's largest insurers.

Insurance companies are worse than Double Glazing installers, Estate agents, horse traders etc.

Yet again Martin to the rescue.

THANKS

    Martin sold MSE over a decade ago to MoneySupermarket. The MSE Insurance Subsidiary you mention is most likely the MSE parent company instead with some MSE branding a special features over the top.

    Last time I checked double glazing and estate agents all charge more today than last year or decade ago whereas insurers are charging less in real terms and not far off that even in absolute terms. Dont deal with horse traders much so won't comment on them
