More than a fortnight after the Agnelli family entered the fight to acquire PartnerRe, Axis Capital
CEO Albert Benchimol declined to answer questions about the competing bid or to address the
possibility that his company would increase its offer.

Now that it is so easy to obtain online quotes for just about any type of insurance, there is absolutely
no excuse for renewing a policy before doing an online check of the prices offered by other
companies. Last year I purchased my house cover after getting a selection of quotes from a price
comparison website. A few days ago I received a phone call from that insurer telling me that the
renewal was imminent and that the price had only risen by a couple of pounds. When I answered
that I was going to check prices from some other companies online before taking out a renewal, the
insurer came up with a price about 20% cheaper than his original one. Nevertheless, I visited my
favourite insurance price comparison site and proceeded to obtain precisely the same cover for
another 20% less than his lowest quote. I've said it so many times and I'll say it again...Don't EVER
renew any insurance before checking prices online. All of the insurers offer their lowest prices to
first-time customers, so take advantage of this and switch to a new company whenever you can get a
better price for equivalent or better cover. Unless there is a very good reason to stay with your
current insurance company then don't fret over showing disloyalty to them, I bet that they won't
show any loyalty to you if you're unfortunate to have to make a claim!. The following link has
