Online Insurance - Don’t Lie, Just Be Creative
I came across an interesting piece in the Burnham & Highbridge Weekly News where the MD of the insurance comparison website confused.com was quoted as saying
“It is important not to confuse being savvy with being dishonest. Job titles do provide a grey area where the quotes can be ‘massaged’ or legitimately exploited by the consumer, but most other areas of quote criteria are a great deal more rigid and should not be manipulated in the same way.”
She was referring to the discrepancies in car insurance premium depending on someone’s job title. The examples included someone with a job of “bricklayer” pays 17% less than a “builder”, a “TV announcer” pays 18% less than a “broadcaster” and a “journalist” would pay 33% less than a “news reporter”.
The moral of the story is to get a few different quotes using variations on your job title and provided that you’re not actually fibbing then go with the cheapest.
