Confused.com has said that motorists could find there are considerable savings to be made with little effort required.
Gareth Kloet, head of car insurance at Confused.com, said: "Tempting as it may be to stick with your existing insurer, remember that there's no reward for loyalty when it comes to car insurance.
"Shopping around online to compare prices from a range of car insurance providers can help you to find a lower quote . Moving to a new provider is straightforward and can save you a considerable amount of money."
The comments follow the recent European Court of Justice ruling outlawing the use of gender to determine car insurance premiums .
