Cheap life insurance

Advantages: Cheap insurance
Disadvantages: None as yet

...I have recently taken out a mortgage on a house and therefore needed to take out life insurance. Having never done this before I decided to shop around. Taking the advice of friends I asked for quotes from Norwich Union as I had been told they were reasonably cheap. Having amassed a collection of quotes I found that yes they were able to offer the cheapest service for me. That is until I read that Tesco had started offering Life Insurance services too. Their Life Insurance is underwritten by Norwich Union and offers a 16 per cent discount on the Norwich Union prices. So basically you get the same product but cheaper. The lowest monthly charge is 5 pounds so if you can find cheaper than that then you are doing well but I found that this was a pound or so cheaper than the other companies I contacted....

Pet insurance

Advantages: Peace of mind
Disadvantages: none so far

...the best thing to do was have him castrated at the vets. After spending money on his injections when he was younger and worming tablets and his regular check ups at the vets, she decided to buy pet insurance. I have a car policy with Endsleigh and have been happy with them for a few years so we checked out the pet insurance with them. It?s a costly thing to have a dog as vet fees are not cheap. The castration of a dog costs £180 at our local vets, add this to the worming tablets, regular check ups of weight and health when they are growing up and their injections and your looking at more than £ 400. This is without including any ailments that they might have in their life to come. We bought a policy from Endsleigh for £112.09 a year. You may think this sounds a lot but it is broken down into monthly payments which can be paid by...

Review of Endsleigh Pet Insurance

Better than life insurance!

Advantages: Detangles, leaves hair soft and shiny, smells divine!
Disadvantages: There must be one!

...As you probably know if you've read any of my other reviews, my shelves are bowing under the weight of Aussie hair products. Miracle hair insurance is one of my true faves. I recently had my hair streaked with blonde which I think looks fab! However the coloured treatment combined with the fact that I have really fine hair means my hair is a nightmare to comb through after Ive washed it. Miracle hair insurance is my saviour! You just spritz it through your hair after youve washed and towel dried it. This will work great for you if you have normal hair, but as mine is so tangly I use a regular conditioner first in the shower and spritz this on as well after Ive towel dried it. It seems to make the individual starnds of hair really slippy so combing wet hair becomes a dream! It doesn't leave a build up so you can use as much as...

Swinton Car Insurance - Nice and Easy

Advantages: Price, Local Branch, Claims
Disadvantages: None so far

...Why choose Swinton Insurance! It was the dreaded time for me to look for car insurance again as per usual I check all the price comparison websites. Swinton came up the cheapest on two of them, so I decided to go direct to their own website to see what price was available and read a bit more about them. The main reasons I decided to go with Swinton was: *Competitive price ? Some £38 cheaper than the next best price and over £50 cheaper than my renewal price. *Local Shops ? I am one of these people who try to keep local companies open, well Swinton has office up and down the country so rather than call the dreaded call centre you can call the local shop. *Cash back ? As usual I always check the cash back sites, and to my delight Swinton was on Quidco. So when I taken the policy out online I got any additional £50 cash...

V insurance . .

Advantages: Seems a good policy.
Disadvantages: Let me down, just once.

...Vauxhall Insurance, is now underwritten by UK insurance Ltd, although it used to be another company, I will not name them, and certainly won't recommend them either. I was insured by them for quite a number of years, until it came to renewing the policy that is. well, in the past I have always had the insurance automatically renewed every year without doing a thing. And this year proved to be the opposite, they just didn't renew it, and the first thing I knew was when I wanted to tax my car, and found that my policy had expired! I rang the helpline, which was answered very quickly, and got the confirmation I had asked for. The voice simply said "You are not insured with us" This amazed me, after being covered by them for years, it turned out tjhey did not renew for no apparent reason. I of course needed insurance, so went to one...

How much are you worth

Advantages: security for your family, cheapest premium found
Disadvantages: doesn't come for free

...I have always shied away from the idea of life insurance. I am not quite sure why. Probably because I don?t like to entertain the idea of myself or anybody I love dying. Unfortunately though, death is inevitable for all of us at some stage or other and although most of us will live to old age, some of us might sadly be cut off in our prime. I should know, as my mother died when she was barely older than I am now, leaving a husband and 3 dependant children. So, how would you cope financially if your partner died? Or how would he or she cope without you? Until I had my daughter, I had it all planned. Working full time, I could afford the mortgage on my own, or I could easily sell up and move in with friends or even get a lodger. My husband thought much the same way. Having a child has changed things somewhat. If either of us...

Life after death insurance?

Advantages: Leads one to take more responsability for the environment - you will be in it mate!
Disadvantages: If you are hoping for your own private cloud and harp...

...There was supposed to be this place, like a huge private estate; with wraught iron gates; bathed in vivid light. If you had suffered and skrimped and saved and knelt on floors and towed the party line, then you were welcome. You got a cloud, a harp and piped musak for eternity. Hmm. This vision of the afterlife did not take into consideration important developments like the Ipod, turbo charged engines and games consules. It failed to view just how destructive the concept would be to the environment as a whole, it failed to take into account that removal of ones stake in the future health of this planet and its people. was a recipy for disaster. If I considered that I would be born into another life, here in Birmingham, after this bod fails its last MOT and goes for recycling, I would be damb sure that I do everything I could to make...

Swinton Car Insurance

Advantages: Easy to contact, good website, good value
Disadvantages: None whatever

...It's that time of year again - just after Christmas co-incides with when I bought my car (off my mum!) last year having just passed my driving test. Bit embarrassing leaving it so long, but money was tight and the busses were good to and from work ..... Anyway, went through Moneysupermarket.com to find a suitable insurer for my 2nd year on the road and came across Swinton. They were not the cheapest on the list for my circumstances, but they did offer everything I needed (plus legal cover as an option) and £50 cash-back after the policy has been in place for 90 days which made it cheaper than the other options anyway. Their website was easy to navigate and make the appropriate payment and the confirmation page came up with useful details like the address and telephone number of the nearest Swinton office. The only thing that...

I insured my pussy.

Advantages: A great company to deal with.
Disadvantages: None.

...out with a £50 excess which means that if the vet bill comes to £50 or less I pay it myself but if say for instance it was £150 then I would pay £50 and Direct Line would cover the other £100. For this policy to cover 1 cat I paid £6.99 per month and this covered my cat up to £2500 in any 12 month period, Direct Line also cover having your pet looked after should you be taken into hospital or become too ill to look after it yourself. This policy that I had also acted as a life insurance policy should the animal be involved in an accident and it also covered lots of other little bits and pieces too but as there are lots of different policies available you will need to check the small print of your particular policy to know exactly what you are and are not covered for. When it comes to making claims it could not be any easier...

NOT the CHeapest - but CHeerful Motor Insurance

Advantages: 5% discount for online quotes, easy to apply, competitive premiums, helpful staff
Disadvantages: need to get letter for NCD proof, (not available in R.O.I or Northern Ireland)

...Obtaining a competitive yet adequate car insurance can be a very time consuming and expensive business. I spent considerable amount of time looking for new car insurance after my car was written off earlier this year. I had enjoyed 5 years of trouble free motor insurance from CGNU who settled my claim in full, however since the merger with Norwich Union I found that in order to take out a new Policy I would be under new Terms and conditions as proposed by Norwich Union which were not as attractive as the one’s I had previously been enjoying. On this basis I decided to shop around extensively for motor insurance. After a thorough search of the market area according to my needs Tesco’s car Insurance finally came out top both in terms of competitive car insurance premiums, comprehensive cover and generally very helpful...
