"I just saved a bunch on my auto insurance."
For real. ;D
Every 4-5 years, I get off my butt and re-bid my auto insurance. Last time around, I picked the cheapest high quality firm, Liberty Mutual. Every year, my insurance creeps up a bit.
So I went to a few internet websites and put in my info, got about 10 quotes within an hour .. all of them were 20-30% lower than my current rate. .. I even tried getting an internet quote from my current carrier, Liberty Mutual .. it came in 10% cheaper on the web than I was already paying.
So I called them up, explained they needed to bid for my business again and come in low, or I was leaving.
The next day the guy calls back "Oh, I explained it all to my manager and got you a better rate." .. My rate plummeted 35%. :o
So my PSA for the week is .. spend an hour, hit up a few insurance quote websites, and call up your guy and put the screws to them. It'll be worth it.
