How Can I Get the Cheapest Car Insurance UK?
One of the best ways to keep your car insurance as low as possible is to make sure you shop around. Letting your car insurance auto-renew or going with the first offer could result in paying more for your car insurance.
Using Apricot’s free and easy online comparison service means you can compare quotes from several insurers before settling on the best deal for you.
What is the Cheapest Way to Insure a Car?
As well as shopping around for insurance quotes, there are other ways you can get better deals on your car insurance:
- Paying annually means you’ll avoid any monthly interest fees.
- A higher voluntary excess generally means a lower premium, but remember you’ll have to pay this excess if you make a claim so it’s important to weigh up the savings and risks.
- Avoiding unnecessary extras will also reduce your premium. Extra cover like legal expenses and courtesy cars can be useful, but they also come with a cost.
- Improving car security with overnight parking or car alarms could also reduce your insurance costs.
What are the 3 Major Car Insurance Options?
The three main types of insurance coverage are:
- Fully comprehensive: this covers your car, you and anyone else involved in the accident.
- Third-party: this is the minimum legal requirement and means damage you cause to other people or their property is covered, but you and your car are not.
- Third-party, fire and theft: similar to third-party, but with additional cover if your car is stolen or fire-damaged.
What is the Lowest Insurance Group?
Every car will belong to an insurance group between 1-50. The groups are determined by a range of factors including the car value, repair costs and safety rating. Group 1 is the cheapest insurance group but is also relatively uncommon, with groups 5-15 being more common for a typical city car or hatchback.
