If your car insurance is up for renewal before 31 October then I've found a way in which you could save £££'s.

Nationwide Building Society are currently running a "price promise" on their car insurance whereby they'll refund double the difference if you can find it cheaper elsewhere. Depending on your individual circumstances, this offer can save you a fortune. The thing is, Nationwide car insurance isn't necessarily that cheap, which works to your advantage.

Take this as an example:

You buy the policy from Nationwide for £400, then trawl the net for every quote you can find. Let's say the cheapest quote you can find is £300 from Tesco insurance. Nationwide will then refund double the difference (2 x £100), so the policy will only have cost you £200, which is £100 less than the Tesco quote which was the cheapest you could find anywhere.

I've checked the T&Cs and there is no upper limit to amount that you can claim back, so you could really be quids in. Obviously the cheaper quote you get has to be on a like-for-like basis in every respect (eg. same policy excess, purchased online if you also bought the Nationwide policy online, etc).

More details here:

Or if you go into a Nationwide branch there's a leaflet about it which includes a claim form.

Hehe.. I'm not taking any commission from them, honest. In fact I think they've dropped a rather large bollock with this offer. Anyone remember the Hoover Free Flights?

I particularly loved your use of "£££". Fabby.

Don't have a car, but reading your post allows me to look at you in the nice shirt lying back.

It's a winning look, you know.

Nah, don't know c@t, sorry. I'm a freelance graphic designer and militant socialist with too much time on my hands. Was going to introduce myself in that "all about me" thread but it suddenly disappeared.
