A 3 minute phone call, a €300 saving!
A brief departure from the usual tech-orientated posts around here... Recently my car insurance came up for renewal. As my insurance last year was with Quinn Direct, I received a renewal quote from them automatically in the post.
In 2010 I paid a little over €600 for a year's cover. The renewal quote came through - the same policy for 2011 would cost me €950. Bit of a difference! The jump in the price was enough for me to look a little bit closer at what other quotes were available - in the end a 3 minute phone call ended up saving me over €300!
Geeks on the run
