Cheap car insurance – top tips

Remember that car insurance comparison websites should only be the start when it comes to getting the best deal. Use them simply as a guide to which companies are providing you with the cheapest quotes.

Don’t forget the companies that these websites miss out, with Direct Line and Aviva being two big ones.

Once you have an idea of the cheaper quotes, phone up the companies to haggle and try to see if there’s anything that will get your price down even further.

You don’t necessarily need to be brazen and ask outright for them to knock a few quid off, but question them on any special deals or discounts available.

Even if you don’t get any discounts, you may be able to get a free hire car, breakdown or legal cover thrown in for no extra cost.
