We often get asked “how much does car insurance for me cost”? How long is a piece of string?
An insurance quote is made up of the following information:
- Your details = Name, age, how long you have held a full license, have you any convictions on your provisional license, your address, etc
- The car you want to insure = Its age, engine size, type of car, etc
- Where you live = this has a great impact on the premium you are quoted.
It does pay to shop around. For example, you can be quoted a premium for a car for around £200 per year and another insurance company may quote you for the same car and the same details for £500.
DO NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE IF YOU ARE NOT INSURED TO DRIVE IT!
If you are caught driving without insurance you face potential fines, penalties, and even a jail sentence. You need to buy your car insurance before you start driving on the road.
Car insurance is a legal requirement. Motor insurance provides cover for damages caused in the event of an accident. There is third-party, fire, and theft insurance, and a number of different ways to purchase your car insurance.
Searching via the internet is usually the best way or appointing an insurance broker to do the searching for you.
