Beat the insurers
Wed 5th November 2008
Sam Benipal, from Slough, followed Martin's insurance cost-cutting technique and saved a mammoth £800 this year on her home and car cover.
She's a power-house example of why you should never lazily accept your renewal quote without searching out better deals.
Sam watched Martin on It Pays to Watch in January when he explained how to slash car insurance costs by using the right combination of price comparison websites to pull-in hundreds of quotes in minutes.
She switched her and her husband's motor policies, and her husband's van insurance, plus used the same technique on their home insurance, saving an amazing £800 in the process.
