It is more important than ever to make sure you're not paying over the odds for car insurance, it has been noted.
Writing for the Daily Telegraph, Andrew Guppy observed that car insurance has risen by a record 40 per cent this year.
He therefore advised to Britons to shop around to unearth the best deals.
"Just accepting the renewal price from your current insurer will almost guarantee that you'll pay too much," Mr Guppy said.
"Use price comparison sites such as Moneysupermarket, Confused and Gocompare to get an idea of the best prices."
Once you've found a good price, he advised consumers to call back their current insurer and offer them the chance to beat it.
They will often go a long way to keep a customer, he noted.
Meanwhile, research conducted by Moneysupermarket has revealed that two-thirds of Britons have been forced to change their driving habits because of higher fuel prices .
