I recently saved about $400 (yes $400!) by switching my car insurance to another provider. Same excess, same type of insurance. I know it’s common advice to shop around when renewals come in but I’d been lazy the last couple of years. So yeah, shop around for your life bills, don’t pay the lazy tax.
what other provider if I may?
Swapped to AAMI
I just swapped FROM AAMI and saved $100. Goes to show it pays checking to switch whoever you’re with!
I just swapped from AAMI who quoted $1200 for renewal to budget direct for $700
Mr P got his renewal the other day: $1,632! I’ve asked/begged him to get a quote from other insurers but he can’t be bothered, “I’ll just pay it monthly, so what?” I said, you’re paying an extra $200+ per year! You can’t even afford to pay that monthly on Centrelink! There’s no getting through… it’s a tax on laziness and bloody minded stupidity 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
You can go online and put in the car rego and answer a couple of basic questions such as age of drivers and have a quote in under a 2 minutes. If he doesn’t mind, you could do it yourself and show him the quotes? I know it might feel like you’re doing his work for him but will be better for the finances. Or buy yourself a gift with the difference for your efforts!
Thanks for this! I had a go with Budget (who I’ve had a policy with in the past and found they were pretty good) and the quote was almost half the cost! That is a massive difference! Budget offer a 15% online discount too.
