What if I can't get a cheap quote for my car insurance?

This depends on your circumstances. In some cases, it may be worth simply shopping around a little more to find a better deal. Try getting quotes from some of our top 10 insurance companies. If you have particular needs, some brokers can be more helpful than others. You may wish to try specialist insurance firms, according to your vehicle type, your job or driving history. Some of the more popular specialist insurance types include:

In some cases, it may, unfortunately, be a case of accepting that some insurance premiums in the UK are extremely high. This is down to a combination of factors, including the fact that car crime is higher here than in most other European countries. However, our accident rates are amongst the lowest, and therefore although it may be difficult to stop accidents, anything you can do to prevent your car from being stolen or vandalised may help reduce your premiums. Older cars in lower insurance groups will cost you far less to insure, whereas younger drivers are often prohibitively expensive to insure, due to their higher chance of having an accident. In this case, it may be better to insure your car in the name of a parent or that of your brother or sister. An advanced driving certificate demonstrates a higher skill and awareness level. Although these courses can cost upwards of £200, this may be a very good investment, as it will reduce your premiums. As this is a lifetime qualification, we would strongly recommend taking such a course as soon as you start driving regularly after passing your test. This way, you will have the maximum possible number of years to repay the investment.
