mine went up by £3.50 so no good for me...sorry

I saved £7.20. I normally put Project Manager which isn't strictly my title but is normally the only thing listed which fits my role. However I also work as a supply teacher and if I put this in it goes down by £7.20. I also put in the very cheapest I've managed to ever get car insurance so I guess in reality I may very well save more. Looking forward to renewal time to test this out.

Hope this helps your research,

Cheers!

Be Ccareful This Doesnt Invalidate Your Policies.

I'm a "Public Relations Officer" - the cheapest it brought up for me was a job which really couldnt be described as what I do, but even so, it would only have saved about £3.

I did shop around before I bought my car ins though!! :T

Nice idea though.:beer:

Whats a chicken sexer :rotfl:

The closest i come is seaman :rotfl: and it doesnt save me much. I do note that you have commisioned officer but not a non-commissioned officer.

I'm a solicitor - it is 60p cheaper to say i'm a police officer (which I wouldn't say - impersonating a police officer is a criminal offence)! Its £1.00 more to say i'm a lawyer!

Its not just your job title though - they ask what sector you work in - when I said I was an administrator in a professional sports sector it shot up from when I worked in finance or insurance even though I was doing the same job in an office.

We had already found out in real life what a difference a title can make: my husband does not work, but is really too young to call himself retired. When he tried to get insurance for his mother's car he was nearly turned down when he said he didn't work: they assumed that meant 'unemployed'. He then had the brainwaive to say he is a househusband (as I am the one doing the breadwinning) and immediately went down to nearly the bottom of the scale! This also makes a considerable difference in the simulator - can't tell you realistically how much because I am out of touch with UK insurance pricing.
