Car insurance bought for 96p !!! Not by me sadly: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/new...urance-for-96p Barbara Wakerell (pictured, right) paid just 96p this summer for fully comprehensive cover for her 12-year-old Vauxhall Corsa. Had she renewed her previous policy she would have paid £145. This smashes the previous £14 record, and shows that by playing the system you can make huge savings (see the Car Insurance guide). How's this possible? The MoneySavingExpert.com cost-cutting system
Barbara, a civil servant from Kent, found the cheapest policy at £120.96 from broker Swinton, which came with its own £70 cashback, making the true cost £50.96. One reason she got a decent-priced policy to start with is she is considered a relatively low risk, which is crucial in cutting costs. Barbara then bought the policy via cashback site Quidco.com, which gave her a further £50 discount, meaning the net cost was just 96p. She says: "I'm always looking for a bargain so when I found my car insurance for £120.96 I thought I was doing well. "But when I also got £120 cashback I realised I had done really, really well. Can anyone beat that?" What's more, her cover is good. It is a comprehensive deal that includes a courtesy car if her motor is out of action and a protected no claims bonus. Additionally, there will be no voluntary excess to pay if she makes a claim (the amount deducted from any payout). Barbara also paid a voluntary £2.42 credit card charge, but that fee would have been waived had she paid by debit card. Martin Lewis, creator of MoneySavingExpert.com, says: "While many report getting insurance for under £100 following the system, we thought the previous £14 record was near invincible, so it's wobbly legs time to see Barbara's 96p price." "The real hope is to find someone who gets PAID to get motor insurance. This has happened many times with home insurance (see the Cheap Home Insurance guide). "The current record is a £67 profit as the cashback was higher than the policy cost." |
