Car ins. (again, sorry)

Budget quoted me £346.12 renewal. A friends recomendation came in at £409. Swiftcover were £389. Swinton were £439 with £150 cashback after 3 months so £279 Don't like gimmicks.
Best overall price & terms is Asda @ £313.75. All quotes were TPFT. Any more you think i should try? Not Admiral or Adrian Flux thankyou.

P.S. I nearly spat coffee all over the keypad when after being told her quote was'nt close the girl from Swinton said, "hang on & i'll just pop it in again for you"!!!! Shocked

Feb 2011 at 19:33 For the first time EVER, Fully Comprehensive policies have become cheaper than TPFT policies. Insurance companies have statistics that people who take on Comprehensive Cover are more likely to take care of their vehicle and are less likely to have an accident. Give it a go.

Direct fricking rip off...£649 TPFT????? Where have you been looking if they're your cheapest? No wonder the spend on telly ads saying they're not on any comparison website, i can see why.

mate tesco do everything from sim cards to car insurance and from broadband to personal loans!!!!

my feelings are that they can offer good service (in terms of low prices) due to them having so many fingers in so many pies.

however, going on my personal experience theyre efficient. i changed from TPFT to fully comp about a month after i bought the car. no long wait. 2 minute phone call. new certificate/schedule the next day!!!!!

but as i said they charged me more this renewal (about a tenner a month) so as long as youre not a lazy butt like me shop around

ps dont bother ringing them...get a quote online Thumbs Up!

tescos rule in my oppinion and yes if they can give you £150 cash back in 3 months why cant they just give you the discount there and then to get your custom
