New customers signing up to Sainsbury's Car Insurance policies are being offered 12 months' worth of cover for the price of ten. The new deal comes after Sainsbury's Bank found that the average cost of a car insurance premium rose up by 5.8% between July 2007 and June 2008. Joanne Mallon, Manager of Sainsbury's Car Insurance, said motorists have been facing significantly higher costs over recent years, particularly with petrol prices on the increase. "However, shopping around for car insurance and taking advantage of discounts such as ours, can help drivers make important savings," she suggested. Malcolm Tarling, a spokesperson for the Association of British Insurers, agrees that comparing different deals is the best way to cut the cost of car insurance. He said that even younger drivers, who typically pay more for their policies because they are judged to be a bigger road risk, can make significant savings by doing so.
