  2. Bear in mind this that not everyone knows. In order to fight back
    against the insurance companies is to ask the insurance company at the time of quotation if they can
    put up the cost of your excess! If you take this advice you will pay should disaster strike
    and you have a crash but it is definitely a good move for people who stay
    out of trouble.
