Top 10 tips to keep your car insurance price down
Drive a smaller car
If your car is worth £50,000 rather than £5,000, it will cost your insurance company
ten times as much to replace your vehicle in the event that it is stolen or written
off.
Choose an older car
Older cars often attract premium discounts as the value of the car is lower.
Add your partner
Policies are often cheaper if you add your spouse.
Consider a larger excess
Agreeing to pay a larger excess means you often pay a lower premium.
Don't pay for unnecessary policy features
For example, many policies automatically add on and charge extra for overseas cover
or a courtesy car. Check the small print carefully and, if in doubt, make sure you
ask.
Buy online
Buy online - it's usually cheaper than using call centres.
Have an alarm fitted
Have a car alarm, immobiliser or tracking device fitted. Some insurers may offer
a discount.
Park off-road if you can
Parking your car on the street overnight will mean higher premiums so park your
car in a garage.
Look again at 'green' cars

hybrid cars.
