Check car insurance before a new purchase, says esure

Mon, 11 May 2009

Those looking to take advantage of the government's recently-announced car scrappage scheme have been urged to save even more money by checking the potential cost of car insurance when buying a new model.

Old cars can provide a £2,000 payout when they are scrapped under the new scheme, but motorists are not making further savings by checking how much they will pay for car insurance on their new vehicles, according to the company.

esure research shows that 24 per cent of those looking to scrap their current vehicle will not check to see if their car insurance premiums will change to cover a newer model.

Mike Pickard, head of risk and underwriting at esure car insurance, said: "The make and model of your car, its value and insurance group will all have an impact on your insurance premium, so motorists must make smart decisions when deciding on the right car for them."

Price comparison website moneysupermarket.com recently said that those who choose to pay their car insurance via monthly instalments may be paying more than they need to, due to charges for the service.
