Churchill Insurance Price Guarentee?

My car insurance is due in about 10 days, since like any good little consumer these days I like to shop around for the best deal, I figured I would give this “Challenge Churchil” a try for a comparable policy to my renewal….
Oh yes, they will beat it for sure….by £1, and then ask you to pay a deposit of two months at the time of the policy setup (not from the policy start date) - I am not bothered about the deposit as this is common practice not limited to Churchill, but to expect me to pay up before my policy is due; when I have to cancel my existing policy at the same time, all for a saving of £1 seems a bit of a false saving to me.
In all from Churchill’s perspective I’d have saved LESS than 10p a month, for a policy that quite frankly is no better than the one I currently have. “SOME” guarentee huh!
Whilst I am not going to diss Churchil out of hand, because I am sure they are a good insurer generally, I am surprised at what a miniscule guarentee they offer. Maybe I am the exception; maybe my current policy is so good they simply couldn’t beat it adequatley in which case, I would have appreciated a little honesty.
Nevermind - methinks I’ll be stinking with my current provider thank you very much - for the personal monetary cost to me in the short term to switch, it just isn’t worth a saving of less than 10p a month.
Churchill, you have been challenged, and you have been found to be somewhat stingy in your price promises!

It does pay to shop around! However, I’ve had the same insurance company from the day I bought my 1st car as they’ve lowered the price each year and were still the best when I changed car (and it was pretty simple to swap the insurance from one car to another).
