Have you noticed how car insurance quotes have increased exponentially all across Ireland in recent years? That renewal notice lands on your doormat and the same company you have remained faithful to in the past, and indeed have never even placed a claim, now have the audacity to charge you an extra EUR 80 for the coming year - flipping cheek!
Of course, they are hoping that you will be far too busy to investigate the possibility of other quotes - in fact, this is where many car insurance companies make their money. This, in turn, allows them to reduce premiums to brand new customers and therefore the very concept of loyalty in this industry is null and void.
The bad news for these insurance companies has to be that you will not be too busy after all! Especially when there are oodles of companies in Ireland that are able to furnish you with quotes that would make your quote from your existing provider look as though you were insuring an entire motorway full of cars. Get online and take a look at companies such as Naas Insurance History so that you can call the greedy company you are already with, and basically - tell them where to go!
In fact, this is the funniest part of all! When you call to cancel your renewal, I bet you anything they will come across as shocked that you are leaving; they will nonchalantly ask the reason for your departure from their company. This is your queue to tell them that there is such a thing as customer loyalty in this world and that you really do not like companies taking advantage of you in such a way. I would usually add something along the lines of them boiling their heads at this point, but that is entirely up to you, of course.
