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.
