Where To Find Low Cost Insurance

Article by Andrew Karvert

Knowing where to find low cost insurance generally depends on who you are, what kind of policy you are looking for and whether you have any specific individual needs. Value for money is about getting the balance right between the cover you want and how much it costs.

One example you may not have thought of is a voluntary excess agreement. To illustrate, we should look at car insurance as an example. This is where you agree to a limit where you will cover any repair costs. While this means you may have to pay out in the event of a minor prang, it will mean in the long term that your premiums will be lower.

Some companies are designed especially for certain people. Statistically, women are better drivers than men and are less likely to have serious accidents. This is why policies with specially designed insurance companies for women will be cheaper. This is also the case with older drivers who because they are more experienced are less likely to claim than a younger driver.

This seems to put younger drivers in an awkward position. It is true they will usually pay out more for insurance as they are more likely to claim. There are ways around this. Shopping around for a deal can help, but you can also go on refresher driving courses, helping to reduce the premium. Keeping your vehicle secure will also help this.

It has recently been reported that some parents have failed to report on their insurance that their children use their car. This is illegal and it cannot be emphasized enough that you must register anyone who will be driving your car alongside yourself. It is not worth risking a fine for short term savings.

While there are some specially created insurers, everyone can benefit from a bit of know how about how getting a policy works. This is especially the case if you are about to renew, so you should be prepared for the inevitable phone call or letter from your insurer.

Checking comparison sites are a good way of seeing the kind of offers available but it is worth noting that not all companies advertise all their offers on those sites. It is worth checking some official sites to see what is available, for example a multi car policy.

If you have not purchased insurance online before it is worth having a look. Companies are encouraging people to buy from their websites as it saves a lot of money in paper and administration. This means you can get a lot of better deals, so you should see what is available.
