[Tech1] Car Insurance

[Nick Ware]

We’re with Direct Line (2 cars). Each year when the new quote comes, we phone them (you actually can), and their Customer Retention person can always be haggled down significantly.
A certain TV producer I used to work for used to pitch for Channel Four music projects, telling us that even if he only made a pound out of it, it would at least stop someone else doing it.
Cheers,
Nick.

Last claim I made (for a hit and run) over 20 years ago. I like the idea of a mutual, but NFU have never quoted anywhere near the best price.
