Have you ever used a car insurance comparison website? Did you manage to save money by using it? Now I am not sure about you but I have just managed to save myself a decent amount of money after using a comparison site.

I had not previously used a comparison website as I thought it may be some kind of scam. I am not sure why I had this opinion perhaps it was because I thought that the car insurance companies were in some way sponsoring the sites; I still believe that some of them are.

Anyway I am now going to go back to writing about the way in which I managed to save money. The annual car renewal papers arrived in the post and the price was some what similar as to what I had paid last year. In that period I had not submitted a claim but I was actually fairly happy with the price that they had quoted. I also rather liked the company that I was insured with as they do offer an excellent customer service.

Even though I was happy with the quote I still decided to put my relevant details into one of the comparison sites.

Instead of just taking up one of these quotes I decided to contact my current insurer and stated the following:

“I have been insured with your company for the last three years and would like to stay with you. I have however been quoted a cheaper price via a car insurance comparison site. Are you able to match their price?”

To my surprise the company agreed and I felt like I had won a major victory. I now decided to treat myself to a pizza!

People have told me that there are no simple ways to make money but this definitely was one.

There are numerous other comparison type sites for example ones where they compare loans, I have heard that these are especially useful for people who need a no credit check loan.

There are even sites that offer such things as comparison prices for DVD replication companies.

I am not sure about you but I will definitely be using a comparison site again in the future.

If however the above does not work for you then you could appoint a cost cutting expert to devise a business cost reduction strategy.

Whichever option you take I hope you are successful at saving some cash, let’s face it in this financial climate we could all do with some extra money.
