Reckons it might save me £19 a year if I change from Telecoms engineer to computer engineer and as i service hundreds of internet PC's as part of my job its not too much of a stretch.

it reckons i can save over 50 quid if i change mine from aircraft engineer to 'air traffic controller', 'pilot' or 'coastguard' :confused: :wack:

 

thats good advice... lie on your insurance policy! :p :rofl:

i can save 30p by being a dressmaker rather than an interior designer, lol:rofl::rofl::slap:

could save £19 being a lighting technician rather than an architect!!! cheeky fookers, lol

hmmm yeah there is a bit of a difference between aircraft engineer and coastguard though isnt there:mac1:

 

Don’t try to cheat the insurer

 

If you’re an office administrator calling yourself a driving instructor because it’s cheaper, this is fraud. If your insurance company finds you’ve provided false information, your whole policy could be void, and you may be added to a fraud list, which other insurers will be able to see, so you’ll find it hard to get cover in the future.

 

What is legit?

 

Here’s Martin’s simple rule of thumb as to whether you can change your job title…

 

“Imagine you were asking a reasonable person who knew what you do for a living. Would they say it was reasonable for you to describe yourself this way?”

 

If they’d answer yes… then all’s good.

If they’d say no… don’t do it.

If they’d say hmmm, I’m not sure… check with the insurer.

 

So don’t just say you’re a supply teacher to get a cheaper quote, which if you’ve not already spotted came up cheapest in our data, if you’ve never stepped in a classroom. If you say you’re a Chicken Chaser (yes, this is a real job!), your job needs to involve the chasing of chickens in some way.

 

For some, it’ll be more straight forward: if your standard title is not listed you’ll have no choice but to find an alternative.

 

What if I have more than one job?

 

If your have more than one job or are a part-time student you can check the price for both categories; although some insurers require you to list the place where you spend the most hours. If you own your own plumbing business you can check the price for plumber or company director.

 

Whatever the circumstances…

if in doubt, check it with your insurance company

your save more if you put police officer , nhs nurse , or carer ;) :)

i could save £16 if i was a janitor not a plumber/heating engineer

most I can save is a quid by being a deputy Principal, I really would rather be on the dole and Zedless than do that lol

I put down that i was a student and it went down nearly £100 :D

hmmm yeah there is a bit of a difference between aircraft engineer and coastguard though isnt there:mac1:

 

:tongue:

 

heres my realistic one...

 

"Picking Aircraft Maintenance Engineer instead of Aircraft Engineer, for car insurance costing £500, may save you £3.90 just by changing your job title."

 

thats a 3.90 saving... and less typing!

Picking Computer Engineer instead of Electronic Engineer, for car insurance costing £480, may save you £13.70 just by changing your job title.

quantity surveyor is already the cheapest! rubbish!
