"Hi, I'm calling about my auto renewal. My premium went from $[Last year's premium] to $[Renewal premium], and I've been with [Current insurer] for [Years with this insurer] years."

What to expect, and what to do if they say no
What happened when people tried it
Reported He reports AAMI dropped his renewal from $1,744 to $1,273 (AUD), saving $472 in about 30 minutes.

Why this works
The problem: Renewal premiums often rise quietly, and loyal customers pay more.
How AI helps: AI reads the policy PDF, explains what you're paying for, suggests changes that legitimately lower risk or premium (mileage, deductible, garaging) and writes a call script.
