Looking for Cheap Car Insurance?

The average cost of car insurance has increased slightly in the past year to £485.

Try to lower your premium by:

Not auto-renewing. Over a third of motorists let their policy renew automatically. Don't be one of them - shop around for new offers.

Comparing quotes. 51% of customers who search for car insurance online, could save up to £269 on their premium.

Increase your excess. Insurers are likely to reduce the cost of cover if you're willing to increase your excess.

What do you need to get a quote?

The car’s registration number if you have it to hand. If not, the car make and model is fine.

Details of your no-claims discount will help lower the price you are quoted.

The type of licence you have and how long you’ve held it.

Your details, including your job, your age and your address.

What you'll use the car for. Social, commuting or business, and how many miles you think you’ll do a year. You’ll also need to say where you’ll keep the car at night for security.

The cover you need also depends on what you drive, where, and how. There are also plenty of add-ons to help you find the right deal for you. It usually pays to shop around, because you are likely to save a significant sum of cash by changing your insurer every 12 months, when your policy comes up for renewal.

When you take out car insurance, you'll be able to find policies with additional features. However, these will increase your premiums, so consider whether you really need them.
