Why switchers save: the four levers
- Renewal premium inflation. UK PMI renewals commonly rise 8–15% per year. Existing-customer pricing rarely reflects the best price the wider market would offer you today.
- New-business discounting. Insurers compete hardest for new customers and reserve their sharpest pricing accordingly.
- Cover right-sizing. Removing features you don't use (or downgrading the hospital list) can trim premiums without compromising the cover that matters.
- Excess and co-pay tuning. Adjusting excess levels and co-pays can take meaningful pounds off monthly premiums — and our partners' advisers will show you the trade-offs.
