How to compare car insurance quotes

With so many car insurance companies to choose from in the UK, it can be difficult to know where to go for the best deal. Comparing car insurance quotes from the many different direct insurance providers, brokers and price comparison websites can be time-consuming and frustrating. To help you find car insurance that's right for you, here are some tips on comparing policies and information on what we can offer you as an insurance broker.

How do I find the best deal for my motor vehicle?

To find the right car insurance policy, you need to compare insurance quotes from several different providers, making sure you look at policy features as well as price. One way to do this is to make a chart, recording policy benefits, exclusions and costs. Things you might want to include are:

• the levels of compulsory excess you'll pay for things like accidental or windscreen damage
• the level of cover you'll receive against theft of your personal belongings
• whether or not a policy covers you to drive other cars
• whether a policy covers you for driving in Europe, and if it does, for how long

What about insurance price comparison websites?

Using price comparison websites to compare car insurance quotes can save you time because they allow you to view prices for several quotes at once. Although the cheapest quote (in a list of quotes provided for comparison) may look attractive, it's important to look closely at the policy benefits as well as the price, particularly with cheaper quotes, where you may well receive fewer benefits if you decide to pay a lower premium.

What does the AA do as an insurance broker?
