To support Derry drivers in the credit crunch Hughes Insurance has announced it will beat motorist’s car insurance quotations by £30 – or give them £30. The ‘Best Price’ Promise has been made to drivers across the Derry area and Hughes Insurance has issued the challenge to anyone in the region who thinks they can beat them on price.

Leslie Hughes, Chairman of Northern Ireland’s largest independent car insurance broker, believes it’s time drivers in Derry were given a fair deal on their insurance: “Years ago there was the perception that car insurance in Northern Ireland was far more expensive that everywhere else. That’s no longer the case.” According to Leslie, many Derry drivers are still paying premium prices when there are better deals available: “Some drivers are still paying for the legacy of yesteryear. We are confident we can beat the majority of NI driver’s renewal quotations by £30. If we can’t - we’ll give them £30. It’s that simple. Times are tight for everyone and every household is coming under financial pressure – consumers are looking for savings so we are reacting to their needs.”

Hughes Insurance is Northern Ireland’s largest local broker – which means the Hughes team can get Derry customers the best price by searching through all the available options on their behalf. As they are the biggest, they can also negotiate better rates.

Gareth Brady, Chief Executive of Hughes Insurance adds: “The volume of business we do enables us to drive down the price. We pass on these savings to our customers and that’s why we have issued this Price promise. Many local drivers could get a better price and better benefits by speaking to us. Everyone is tightening their belts – so we have to respond. We will deliver on best price in Derry. We are serious about helping out local drivers.”

Hughes Insurance is offering this deal to all drivers over 21 who have held a full driving license for over 12 months and have no prior convictions. Any policy holder in Northern Ireland who pays over £300 per year for their car insurance is eligible.

Hughes Insurance has over 30 years of experience in the Northern Ireland insurance business and employs over 180 staff across 12 branches. The company offers a full spectrum of personal and commercial insurance products.
