Like a lot of people, I’m forever trying to do something to keep my motoring costs within reasonable limits, particularly my insurance. My wife and I have a car each, and for reasons that are lost in the annals of driving history, I tax and insure both of them – and there’s me on a pension and she’s still in full time work – bummer! It only struck me the other day, that in a few month’s time, once I’ve paid the mortgage off, my two largest annual bills will be Council Tax and Car Insurance, both of which go up out of all proportion to inflation. This all makes a mockery of the security ... more

***WHY NEEDED*** It was that dreaded time of year again. The car insurance was due. And by some unfortunate circumstance the car tax was due too! I had my quote through from my original car insurance company and wasn't happy with the price they were offering. There quote to stay with the same company came to £608 but they had managed to get me a really good deal with someone else for £581.78. ***HOW I FOUND IT*** Needless to say I wasnt happy with either of these so I went to the world wide web to try to find a cheaper quote. Originally I just searched car insurance. Google then brought up ... more

It’s that fun time of year again – car insurance renewal time! And to make things even easier, the tin-pot company that insured me last year neglected to send me a renewal note and very kindly phoned me on the 3rd May to inform me that my insurance was due to run out on the 5th and would I like to renew. I think this was a ploy to panic me into agreeing into renewing with them without searching for a cheaper quote. After venting my frustration at the lack of warning, I found out that their renewal quote was £716. At least this gave me a starting point for my Bank Holiday trawl of insurance ... more

I'm a bird, I drive a Lotus and I use it for work. All in all a bit of a recipe for disaster if you're looking for cheap insurance. So when THAT time of year came around and my quote was £1,000 or thereabouts I decided that before signing on the line I'd check out the web. I found Confused.com via Google. USING THE SITE When entering the information, I found the screens pretty straightforward, if a little slow. My car came up without any problems as did my address. I work for myself. I therefore had problems with the job page, it didn't really like the concept that I was self employed and kept ... more

I have just used www.confused.com to renew my car insurance for another twelve months, and would like to give my own experiences of it. But I will give a little bit of background information first off, simply in order to clarify as to why I came to use this particular one! I insured my previous car this time last year with the Post Office, after having found them through www.gocompare.com as actually being one of the more cheaper insurance deals that I was able to get at that time being unemployed but still not wanting to spend too much of the money as left to me by my late grandmother ... more
