INSURANCE (again)

[Jon39]

Just in case this is of help to anyone.

I have been using Aviva (broker arranged), originally because they allow a choice of repairer.

Insurance premiums obviously vary considerably, depending upon different personal circumstances. My premium last year was £500. This year, renewal was invited at £550. I would have been happy with that, but was recently sent a Barclaycard leaflet for Aviva, that offered a 10% refund. I now have an Aviva policy which cost £310 net.

In this mad modern world, we all find that new customers often pay far less than existing loyal customers. If you happen to use Aviva and also have a Barclaycard, you could try barclaycard.co.uk/moneyback2 at renewal time.

Do they ask for a Tracker Jon? TIA.

Not previously, and there was no question about that on the new policy on-line proposal. If they required one, surely there would have been a question, but when available, I will read through the policy wording to make sure.

Sounds like a bargain, but I don't understand - how is £550, less 10% equal to £310?

£550 is the present Aviva policy renewal (through a broker).

Going to Aviva, via the Barclaycard offers webpage, produced a new policy quotation of £345. Barclaycard then credit back 10%, hence £310 net.

... So definitely worth checking the wording carefully.

Thank you davek.

With a working tracker, it makes no difference to me.
