Just got boiler breakdown insurance down from their quote of £187.80 to a more affordable £84.00, just by saying I was going to look elsewhere and asking: what was the best price they could give me?

Amazing. You're a fool to pay the asking price for anything without question nowadays.

That's for one year, no excess. If they'd refused to reduce it I'd have looked elsewhere as £187.80 is too much.

Had the same with my car insurance yesterday. Got the renewal notice for £400. Price comparison site offered £300 so rang my insurance co and they brought down the renewal figure. Result!

This is with Homeserve and is now roughly in line with what you'll find from them on price comparison websites.

I'd have kicked myself for paying the asking price.

British in bad at asking for discounts shocker.

As they say, if you aren't embarrassed then you haven't pitched the number low enough.
