How to find cheaper insurance

Running a car in the UK is not cheap. On top of the normal ongoing costs involved in having your own car (servicing, repairs, road tax, fuel costs, etc) we are also forced to pay insurance each year. Although it is a necessary legal requirement and can help us out financially if an accident did occur, most of us see buying car insurance a bit like going to the dentist - a painful, but necessary, fact of life.

Insurers base your insurance cost on a number of factors which basically boil down to how likely you are to have an accident and how much they will have to pay out. Statistically, younger drivers are more likely to have accidents (males in particular). The same is true for high performance car drivers. If you are female with a low performance car, living in a low crime rate postcode, you are likely to benefit from cheaper insurance.

While changing our sex would probably be too far to go in order to benefit from reduced insurance premiums, for most of us, changing our vehicle may not. Choose a car with a small engine and you are likely to get a lower insurance premium. However, there is a way to find cheaper insurance without changing anything - and that is to shop around.

Traditionally shopping around for car insurance was a very time consuming process, but nowadays online car insurance quote comparison systems like www.quotezone.co.uk exist for our convenience. Instead of you having to go to lots of different insurers websites and enter your details, you just have to enter them once on quotezone to get around 20 quotes from a panel of over 50 insurers! The quotes are then displayed in order of price, cheapest first. The great thing about the quotezone site is that they even compare insurance brokers so you are much more likely to find cheaper insurance through quotezone.co.uk than by going to just one broker or insurer.
