A good trick to save on your car insurance
Posted: Tue 13 Sep, 2005 18.45
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).

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