Compare 110 different providers to find the cheapest car insurance quotes for you. But there are additional steps you can take to lower the cost of your premium.
It can be tempting to just stick with your existing provider when the time comes to renew your car insurance. But you could be missing out on savings from a new provider who can offer you a better price. You should always compare car insurance quotes when the time comes to renew.
Car insurance is partly based on the number of miles you complete each year. When you fill out a form to get a car insurance quote, you’ll be asked how many miles you think you’ll drive for the year ahead. To get an accurate idea of how many miles you do, take a look at the difference in mileage between your most recent MOTs. That way you won’t be paying for more miles than you’ll actually do.
Another way to reduce your insurance costs is to opt for a higher excess. While this means you may end up paying some money towards a repair or damage caused if you need to make a claim, you can benefit from being a careful driver by setting this at a larger amount.
Where you park your car at night has a big impact on your car insurance quote. If you can, you should park your car inside a garage or on a private driveway. Not only does this deter potential car thieves, but you are also unlikely to have another driver hit your car and cause damage that needs to be repaired.
When you pay for your car insurance, you’ll be given the choice to pay an annual or monthly price. It may be tempting to go for the monthly price, as it won’t be as big a lump sum as an annual price. But if you do go for monthly, you will pay more in the long term. That’s because the insurance provider will charge interest on these monthly payments. So it’s always better to pay annually for a lower price.
One of the protections provided by car insurance is against theft of your vehicle. So if you can install additional security features that make this more difficult, then you will be showing an insurer that your vehicle is at less risk. This will reduce the car insurance quote.
More and more insurance providers are offering discounts for driver’s who install a telemetrics system in their car. This allows a provider to accurately monitor the way you drive and ensure the quote provided reflects the way you use your car. Some providers will even off an insurance package based per mile.
Don’t worry, we’ve got that sorted for you.
Every make and model of car on the market is given an insurance category. This gives insurers and consumers an idea of how much insurance you will be charged based on the car you drive (This is separate from include factors based on your personal details and driving history).
A car’s category is based on its reliability, how easy it is to repair, and the availability and cost of replacement parts.
To check your car’s insurance category, there are several sites online that allow you to do so. Just do a quick internet search of “your car’s make and model insurance category”.

Third party
Third party cover is the most basic form of protection. It will cover the cost of any injuries sustained by other people involved in an accident that was your fault. So if you are responsible for a crash with another car and someone is hurt, the cover will protect you for any medical costs incurred by that person.
It will also cover you for any property damage caused by an accident that was your fault. So repairs to a car that was hit, or any structural damage if you were to crash into a wall for example. This is the cheapest form of car insurance protection.
Third party fire and theft
Third party fire and theft provides the above protection, but also protects your car if it is stolen, or if it is written-off by a fire. This does not cover you if an accident is your fault.
Fully comprehensive
Fully comprehensive protection includes all the protections in third party fire and theft, but it also will pay for any repairs to your car in an accident that is your fault. So if your car is damaged in an accident, no matter who is responsible, you’ll be able to get back on the road. This is the most expensive type of coverage.
As well as the three types of car insurance above, there are often additional extras you can add to your package for a small increase in the price of your premium. Some providers will include these as standard, others as an add-on.
Breakdown cover/Roadside assistance - This protection will help get you back on the road if you have a breakdown. This can include towing your car back to your local garage, onward journey support, and courtesy car use. Check the terms and conditions for the exact protection available.
Windscreen cover - If your windscreen becomes damaged, then this protection will cover the cost of repair or replacement. Whether it’s a large crack or just chipped, this cover can stop the issue from getting worse.
Car key cover - Modern car keys are a lot more complex than they used to be, with programming and contactless entry making them very expensive to replace. This cover will provide repair, reprogramming, or replacement of keys.
Driving other cars insurance - If you need to regularly drive another person’s car, then you can get additional protection that covers you for vehicles other than your own. This extra is not normally available to under 25s.
Courtesy car cover - If your car is being repaired and you need a vehicle, this cover will provide a courtesy car for the duration of the repair work.
Misfuelling - Putting the wrong type of fuel in your car can be an expensive mistake, leaving you stranded and needing to drain your fuel tank with specialist equipment. This cover will help pay for any costs that come from misfuelling.
Personal belongings - You can get protection for the belongings you leave in your car too. Ideal if you are a regular commuter and leave your work laptop or phone in your car.
