I recently saved about $400 (yes $400!) by switching my car insurance to another provider. Same excess, same type of insurance. I know it’s common advice to shop around when renewals come in but I’d been lazy the last couple of years. So yeah, shop around for your life bills, don’t pay the lazy tax.

Swapped to AAMI

I just swapped FROM AAMI and saved $100. Goes to show it pays checking to switch whoever you’re with!

I just swapped from AAMI who quoted $1200 for renewal to budget direct for $700
