Shop around for car and home insurance
This post is sponsored by the Association of British Insurers (ABI)
Car and home insurance customers will no longer pay more for staying loyal to the same insurer – but it still pays to shop around.
New rules introduced at the start of 2022 mean that insurance companies can no longer charge existing customers more for equivalent home and car cover than the tempting discounts offered to equivalent new customers.
Whether you use a comparison website, insurance broker, or buy direct from an insurer or from a retailer such as a shop, new and existing customers should be offered the same cover for the same price.
Why the new rules?
The reform came as a result of needing to re-balance prices more equally between new and existing home and motor insurance customers.
The change was prompted by a super complaint by Citizens Advice, who found that loyal customers were paying significantly more than equivalent new customers – and this needed to change.
The good news is that the new rules should help protect the loyal and vulnerable compared to new customers. The bad news is that savvy switchers, used to snapping up cheaper policies from new providers every year, are likely to pay more.
The ABI is supporting this change, and has put together a guide about the rules changes and what they mean for you
Why you should still shop around for home and car insurance
However, it is still worth shopping around, whether you’ve stayed with the same insurer for centuries or religiously switch every year.
Snap up a better deal from a different insurer
There are still loads of different insurers fighting for business and shedloads of different policies – so you may still be able to find good cover for less. Some companies may start out by decreasing prices for existing customers, rather than hiking up prices for new ones, so it’s worth sussing out your options.
Best cover isn’t always cheapest
You may find it strange that as a frugal blogger I don’t automatically recommend grabbing the cheapest cover.
In practice, you need to check the policy meets your needs. I can’t buy cut-price home insurance for example, because I live in a listed building, which wouldn’t be covered.
When buying car insurance, some bargain basement policies on price comparison websites have really low limits on maximum claims, and I prefer the peace of mind from higher limits.
Check if your needs have changed
Even after the rule changes, don’t auto-renew on autopilot.
Read the policy details in case anything has changed, and make sure the new cover matches your current needs and circumstances.
For example, if the pandemic means you now work more from home, you may drive fewer miles, which should chip away at the cost of your car insurance. If you’ve ditched commuting completely, say so. Cover for ‘social, domestic and pleasure’ is typically cheaper than if you include ‘commuting’ too. You also need to flag if you’ve changed occupation or are unemployed.
On the home insurance side, maybe you took advantage of Covid savings to splash out – jewellery? A new laptop? A fancy mountain bike? Check if your policy has a valuable items limit, as you need to tell them about pricey acquisitions.
If you still have some savings, you may be able to bring down the cost of your cover by opting for a higher ‘excess’ – that is, choosing to pay a higher amount of any claim yourself, in exchange for paying less for your insurance.
Don’t lie
Whatever you do, don’t be tempted to tell porky pies when applying for insurance. Any claim might end up being reduced or refused, and in the worst case scenario you could end up with a criminal record. Be honest for example about who drives the car, where it’s kept overnight, any accidents and how many miles you expect to drive, even if it pushes up the price. No point paying for a policy that won’t pay out! Shopping around can help find an insurer who might look more favourably, for example, on new drivers.
You also need to tell your insurer if things changed while insured – such as if you move house, change jobs or start driving to work.
Claim cashback
When buying insurance, always check if you can grab some extra cash just by clicking through from a cashback website such as TopCashback or Quidco first. Cashback isn’t guaranteed, but cold, hard cash can be a good incentive to swap insurers.
I tend to start by checking a couple of price comparison websites, then when I’ve identified a good deal, see if I can pick up cashback by buying that insurer’s policy via a cashback website.
Just bear in mind that some insurers aren’t listed on comparison websites, and some comparison websites offer perks if you buy through them, such as discounts on eating out and cinema tickets.
With living costs shooting up on everything from fuel and food to energy bills, it definitely pays to get a good deal on home and car insurance.
Now – over to you. Do you switch every year or stick with the same insurer? How will the new rules affect you? Do share in the comments, I’d love to hear.
It was really not fair for loyal customers to pay more money for insurance than new customers. And I cannot really understand why this practice is applied by other businesses. The best way to get profit is by keeping your loyal customers.
Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

According to the FHA you must have a credit score of 650 above before you can get apartment from them, though my score was at the rate of 450 and I needed to get an apartment but my score was low with a lot collection in items, Tax liens, Repos, Late payment, loans, all this hinder me from getting an apartment from FHA. I have searched and searched for a credit repair agent but to no avail, I got referred to XAP Credit Solution from an old friend so I emailed XAPCREDITSOLUTION AT GMAIL DOT COM. After discussion, all the collections, loans, tax liens, repos and late payment were removed. Late payments were marked as paid on time, he also paid off my credit card debts. It was amazing. I don’t know how he did this in less than a week but I think he is the best when it comes to credit repairs and other hacking issues. You can as well contact him if you need his services.

Pročitajte moje svjedočanstvo o tome kako sam dobio brzi zajam od pouzdane tvrtke. Pozdrav, ja sam gospođica Veronica iz Hrvatske. Bio sam u financijskoj situaciji i trebao sam kupiti kuću. Pokušao sam potražiti zajam od različitih kreditnih tvrtki, privatnih i korporativnih, ali nije išlo, a većina banaka mi je odbila kredit. Ali kako bi Bog htio, upoznali su me s privatnim zajmodavcem koji mi je dao zajam od 90.000 eura i danas imam svoju kuću i vlasnik sam tvrtke i trenutno mi je dobro, ako morate ići na tvrtka za osiguranje kredita. bez kolaterala, bez provjere kreditne sposobnosti, samo 3% kamatna stopa i supotpisnik s boljim planovima i rasporedom otplate, kontaktirajte Davidson Albert Loan (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com). On ne zna da to radim, ali sada sam tako sretna i odlučila sam dati ljudima više informacija o njemu i želim da ga Bog još više blagoslovi. Možete ga kontaktirati putem njegove e-pošte. davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com

Read carefully,
a message for victims of scam/fraud.
It’s becoming a problem how people are being victimized by scam, sadly enough. But you now have the right to make enquiries, seek proof of any recovery hacker you come across to avoid getting scammed again in the process. When I was defrauded 153k worth of USDT I had, I hired few of the recovery experts I could find, also reported my case, but still there was no positive feedback. Two weeks later I read about BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY in a magazine, doubtfully, I decided to give a trial. I emailed them concerning my issues, submitted the necessary things thy asked me to submit and luckily, stolen money was recovered. But honestly speaking, I never thought of the outcome to be that quick and positive. They actually made it look so easy, they recovered almost 80% of what was stolen. Thanks to them, something too good to be true. I was left no choice but to admit that funds recovery is real. In case you needed any assistance like this, they asked me to share the contact details you can reach out to.
