Switch saved me £60 on insurance bill
PAT McLaughlin saved £ 0 on his insurance after shopping around when his previous provider said it would not cover him.
The 7-year-old had built up 11 years of no claims bonuses and wanted cover for 10,000 miles a year on his Seat Alhambra after reducing this from 13,000.
When his insurer Direct Line turned him down, he was amazed to discover how much cheaper other quotes were.
Mr McLaughlin, from Ringwood, Hampshire, who is retired after running an exhibitions company, asked Direct Line for an explanation but was told the company’s underwriters ‘don’t like it’, the Mail on Sunday reported.
He switched to rival company A-Plan and then moved his home insurance as well when it came up for renewal.
Mr McLaughlin said: ‘Now my wife and I have car and home insurance which costs us £ 0 a year less than last year.’
