geared Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Alot of people have given up, if they're not on a comparison website they can sod off. Direct Line for example, the times I have gone to the trouble of getting a quote from them it's never been remotely competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest quote I got was calling the cheapest one on the comparision site. The comparison site was £200 more than speaking directly. I use the comparison sites as more of a shortlist creator. I then call the top 3 to 5 and see where I get from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that always used to work for me up until this year. This time my insurance quote went from £300 to £508. The trouble was the comparison sites were all about the same.

Loads of quotes, all very close to each other. It’s almost as though they are working together 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
