During these rather harsh financial times I am sure that we could all do with some tips on how to save some extra money. There has never been a better time to save money on your various insurance renewals. I will be writing about how you can make these savings within this article.

For the purposes of this article I will be writing about people’s annual car insurance renewal – mainly because I have just had to renew my own auto insurance.

I am not an insurance specialist in fact I am just a regular guy from the UK who is involved in providing jobs in foster care, offering people quality external doors and enabling the public to obtain budget package holidays.

My annual renewal notice arrived in the post around two weeks ago. I was quite happy with the premium but I of course thought it was prudent to try to obtain an even lower price.

In an attempt to find a lower quote I went online to use a car insurance comparison website. The lowest price came out at £20 lower than what I had been quoted.

I then spoke to my current insurer and told them about the lower price that I had found. I asked them if they could offer me a cheaper quote than they had previously.

I went in with a lower price than what I had actually received as I knew they were never going to offer me the full reduction. They did come back with a lower premium that was in fact £30 off their original renewal price. Oh yes I felt so proud of myself!

I hope these tips help you in the same way that they have worked for me, please let me know how you get on. You never know those extra pounds that you save could help you to start saving towards a new car or perhaps a holiday – every penny counts, as they say – especially in a recession.
