    Mr P got his renewal the other day: $1,632! I’ve asked/begged him to get a quote from other insurers but he can’t be bothered, “I’ll just pay it monthly, so what?” I said, you’re paying an extra $200+ per year! You can’t even afford to pay that monthly on Centrelink! There’s no getting through… it’s a tax on laziness and bloody minded stupidity 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

      You can go online and put in the car rego and answer a couple of basic questions such as age of drivers and have a quote in under a 2 minutes. If he doesn’t mind, you could do it yourself and show him the quotes? I know it might feel like you’re doing his work for him but will be better for the finances. Or buy yourself a gift with the difference for your efforts!

        Thanks for this! I had a go with Budget (who I’ve had a policy with in the past and found they were pretty good) and the quote was almost half the cost! That is a massive difference! Budget offer a 15% online discount too.
