How To Save Money On Car Insurance

In this article we will look at the main factors that the insurers or the underwriters use to calculate the premium (the quote you get) for your insurance. We will try to find ways by which the insurance quote can be lowered by some factor or indeed by utilising a combination of factors. We will begin this article with some handy tips on the insurance quote gathering process, information that will help you obtain competitive quotes from different insurance companies clearly and with the minimum of fuss.
Also, if you don't ask, you don't get. Always ask for additional perks, discounts or benefits.

Just before you start looking around by telephone or internet, you should have all the relevant documents ready and be prepared to give exact details. For example:

The date you passed your driving test
Dates for claims and convictions
Details of additional drivers
No Claim Discounts
Registration documents or log book and so on

This will save you a lot of hassle and time and will enable you to obtain
The exact and competitive price you need

You should also be aware of the exact details of your car:

Model and make
Engine details
Registration number
Details of any immobiliser
If there were any modifications made, details of the modifications
As well as the garage details where these were carried out

If you are searching for a van, commercial or even imported car insurance, ask the advisor before you start giving your details whether or not they deal in such vehicles. If you are a young driver and are looking for a quotation then ask the consultant at the other end whether they accept the pass plus certificate (advanced motor skills examination certificate) or not, because, if they don't, trust me, you'll be more than surprised the quotation you receive.
