Cheap car insurance search essential

The search to find cheaper car insurance may never have been more essential after new analysis reveals that car insurance costs have risen faster than the rate of inflation during the last decade.

Analysis from uSwitch.com states that since 1997, the average car insurance quote has risen 72 per cent from £311 to £535 per year, outstripping inflation by 29 per cent.

This merges in with the stats that nationally UK motorists are spending £75 billion on car insurance, tax, MOTs and petrol, which is over £2,000 a head.

If costs would have remained in line with inflation, the UK's motorists would be saving a combined £19 billion a year.

However, motorists can make these costs a little easier to bear by seeking out cheaper car insurance to save money and according to various companies there are many ways to do this.

The biggest way stated is to shop around for a cheaper car insurance quote and not to stick with a present insurer out of loyalty.

Other touted ways include voluntarily paying more excess, paying for car insurance in one lump sum or parking a vehicle in a safer place overnight.
