Haggle for home insurance
Tuesday December 09 2008
Householders can save almost €400 a year on home insurance by shopping around, the financial watchdog claimed.
An investigation by the Financial Regulator has revealed a wide range of premiums were being offered by companies providing buildings and contents cover.
Mary O'Dea, consumer director, urged people to haggle and check for better deals before accepting a quote.
"There are three things you should always do when getting insurance: haggle when you are negotiating with your insurance providers, look for better value elsewhere, and ask for discounts when getting quotes."
