What you’ll need to have ready

Before you start to look for car insurance quotes you need to make sure you have the following details ready:

• car registration number. If you do not have this to hand you can use the make, model and engine size of the car instead;
• your car’s current mileage and expected annual mileage;
• details of where the car is parked during the day and in the evening;
• its purpose (i.e company car);
• your driving licence details.

How to cut the cost of your car insurance

Apart from making sure you’re on the cheapest car insurance possible, there are more ways than you might think  to reduce the cost of your car insurance. For instance, you can:

• choose to pay a higher excess (the amount you pay towards each claim);
• limit who drives your car to yourself only or you plus a named driver;
• park your car in a garage or off the street;
• keep your mileage low (doing less than 12,000 miles a year);
• fit a security device such as an alarm or immobiliser.
