Vehicle choice can offer car insurance savings, expert states

Thu, 20 Nov 2008

People can save money on their car insurance by picking the right vehicle, according to one expert.

Andy Leadbetter, head of motor and home insurance for Moneysupermarket.com, explained that people who resist the urge to buy a powerful car can save on the cost of their premium.

Older vehicles can offer savings as the cost of a car insurance premium drops when a motor turns five years old and again when it hits ten, he stated.

"Cars are ranked in insurance groups based on their value, cost to repair and replace parts, performance and security, so check out the insurance group before you buy," Mr Leadbetter said.

People looking to save money on their car insurance should stick to conventional vehicles with small engines as these tend to offer the cheapest premiums, he added.

Recently, Frances Browning, spokesperson for Direct Line Car Insurance, warned drivers not to tailgate as this increases the chances of them being in an accident .
