Motorists have been urged to shop around different providers to unearth the best car insurance premium .
According to goompare.com, the best way to achieve this is to use a price comparison website.
Comparison sites consistently find lower quotes for drivers for both comprehensive and third party insurance, it said.
Lee Griffin, business development director of gocompare.com, remarked: "Comparison sites have shown the lowest increase in the cost of comprehensive insurance and actually a small drop in the cost of third party insurance."
He added: "Drivers should not accept eye watering increases to their premiums when other insurers are so keen to compete for their business."
Writing for the Daily Mail, Ray Massey recently warned Britons to keep their car insurance policies up to date if they don't want to fall foul of a new law that could land them with a £100 fine.
He explained that thousands of drivers risk having their cars clamped and seized in their driveways under new rules.
