Here are some useful tips on how to reduce car insurance
premiums. Firstly, you need to find a sense of balance between
coverage and cost. Apart from negotiating a good deal, there are
some other things that you can do to further bring down your car
insurance premium for example;
Many insurers average
yearly mileage at 12,000 miles. If you do not drive this amount,
you can inform your insurer, thus resulting in a reduction in
your premium.
Park the car - Parking your car in a
secure location such as a locked garage or a secure designated
off road parking spot can potentially reduce your premiums.
Bulk buying - Most of the big insurance companies offer all
forms of insurance such as home, life etc. You may receive a
discount for buying multiple forms of insurance with the same
company.
Female drivers are statistically less prone to
accidents. Women can avail their quotes from a firm that
specialises in covering female drivers.
Anti-theft alarm
- Equip your car with electronic central locking and alarm. Most
insurance companies have a discount if you have these devices
fitted in your car.
Avoid high interest rates - Interest
charges are very high if you were to pay your premium in monthly
instalments. It would work out cheaper to pay your premium in
one lump sum.
Buy on the Internet - Financial products
are far cheaper on the Internet than elsewhere. Car insurance is
usually about 10% cheaper when you buy online.
Shop
around - Be prepared to do the legwork, if you want a good deal.
Check the insurance rating - Some cars are considered to be of a
higher risk than others. Before buying a car, check out its
insurance group rating as car insurance premiums vary greatly
between insurance groups.
Imported cars are expensive to
insure - The price of a car bought abroad may be cheaper, but
most likely, the insurance won't be. This is because, the parts
can be more expensive and difficult to find, so take this into
consideration unless you are buying a car fully catered for in
UK.
