well, its that time of year again for our big insurances to all come in at once.. 

i'll have to do something about that...

but every year, you guys already know.. our insurances go up..

why?

our home insurance went up by over $100.. turns out they lifted the value of our home by $14,000 

so I went to compare the market .com.au and got a quote..

I'm with Budget Direct who are excellent.. anyways.. I do an online quote and Budget Direct beats my current insurance with them by over $100 

the mrs car insurance is up as well although market value is going down each year.. I do a quote online and Wollies beats Budget Direct by $99...

so I ring them up and tell them that I'm not happy .. we redo all of our insurances and low and behold I receive a $200 Plus Refund...

so then I also took out car insurance for my new car as well...

every year check these insurance costs and challenge them with a simple "calm" phone call..

by having better quotes already to tell them about will make them drop their pants.. I was even able to give them their OWN quote number that beat my current home insurance by over $100 so that they could look it up for themselves..

you don't get rich by giving your money away... get back every cent you can..

Have you had a quote from defence service homes insurance Mech?   They have chosen Allianz but they are very competitive.  They now insure everything - not just homes and contents as they used tro.     I have had a few major house insurance claims over the years and the sevice from DSH cannot be faulted.
