As well as being excluded from online deals, some families are also being hit with extra fees for receiving paper bills as some firms charge up to €42 a year for processing bills in this fashion.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, spokesman for Bonkers.ie, Simon Moynihan, said: "There is definitely a postal premium being paid by householders that stay offline, and each year it becomes more expensive to manage your affairs with a pen and paper."
Simon encourages customers to seek the best deal possible by shopping online, advising: "It's car insurance season, and it you don't look at renewing online you're losing out. Insurance companies are now offering online discounts and cash incentives that could easily save you 10% on your premium. That's about €60 for a regular family car."
Will you be considering making the switch?
