When the cheapest WAS the best...
It's the way of the world that when buying any sort of insurance the buyer always looks for the best deal available BUT, having said that, it must provide the cover that you require and in this case DTI came out tops AND just happened to be the cheapest of the dozen or so we were offered. I hasten to add that it was almost £100 cheaper than the next!
