Car insurance can be a substantial part of your annual motoring costs but many people do not take the opportunity to try and reduce their insurance outgoings. There are a number of different ways to make significant savings and they are more simple than you may think.
Try not to get into the habit of automatically sticking with the same insurer you had last year. It often is simpler to do this and many insurance companies take it upon themselves to carry on taking the payment until they are told to stop doing so. Your insurer may not automatically offer you the best price available and, ultimately, even if you find out that your quote beats the rest, it is well worth it to shop around and try to get yourself the best deal. One of the easiest methods, and increasingly becoming more popular, is by using comparison websites.
These sites will help you compare insurance prices from many different companies and in many cases you can stipulate your requirements and the site will find you a list of the best ones to suit your circumstances. If you find a deal that you like, it is advisable to pay the premium annually rather than monthly as many companies can charge you as much as twenty per cent for the privilege.
Where you live and your perceived potential for theft and damage may well have a bearing on how much you are asked to pay. By making sure you have good security on your car, either an alarm or immobiliser, or you may even want to consider a tracker device, you can substantially reduce the cost of your insurance premium. Keeping the car in a garage can reduce your costs by as much as ten per cent in some cases. If you don’t have a garage, keep the car off road, perhaps on your drive way.
The car you buy will have it’s own in built insurance group and although your dream car may beat most cars in a road race, you may lose heavily in the insurance stakes. The more ’sporty’ the vehicle is, the more it is likely to attract a high premium because of the desirability factor. Thieves often target these sort of vehicles, either for themselves or to order for someone else. If you have extras on the car make sure that you do not find yourself paying more than you should. You can offer to pay an increased excess payment to reduce the annual cost of your insurance, but you need to make sure that you are not insuring extras unnecessarily. This also applies to any insurance generally. The insurance needs to cover the relevant cost of replacing or repairing your car but this needs to be realistic and using comparison sites can help you decide what is a fair price to pay.
If you happen to have an accident it may not always be the best policy to claim on the insurance policy. By the time you take in to account that the cost of your excess payment is, compared to what the repair costs, it may well be worth biting the bullet and paying the amount yourself. In insurance terms, your no claims bonus is your best friend and is one of the main ways you can keep your costs down, so continue to drive safely and don’t forget to shop around.
