Price comparison websites promise to save us hundreds of pounds but we need to be wary and not leave all the work to these websites.  To start with not all insurers, mortgage lenders, banks and apps are on all price comparison websites.  To get the best deal you need to go on more than one comparison site, and then some.  Direct Line Insurance is only available from the company. NFU Mutual does not sell online at all.  And customers can do better by contacting an insurer or two themselves.  The call centre workers may find ways of offering better terms. You also need to compare like with like and make sure that excesses on policies are what you want and that the cover suits your home or motor.  And if you call you know that the prices are current.  Some websites do not update their listings regularly. Remember the earlier you check prices, the better price you will get. Insurers give the best prices 28 days before renewal.If you've got a money saving idea you'd like Mrs Mean to get her teeth into, please send a message Please send ideas questions, tips and warnings about rip-offs to Mrs Mean through the contact page on her website: mrsmeanmoneyshow.co.uk or to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
