An online comparison service can do the hard work for you. Put in your 詳細(に述べる)s and check the prices that come up. You can alter the 超過 that you are willing to 支払う/賃金 and the mileage you will 運動, and get new 引用するs.?
Getting a 引用する is 平易な using price comparison websites.?
運転者s are 勧めるd to 確実にする they are comparing like-for-like. Some 政策s may seem cheaper on the surface, but on closer 査察 they might not 申し込む/申し出 the same level of cover when you have to make a (人命などを)奪う,主張する.
It is also important to check the 保険会社s that don't feature on comparison 場所/位置s, such as Direct Line.
If you've been happy with the cover your 存在するing provider has given until now, but are unhappy with their 再開 引用する, let them know the best 申し込む/申し出 you have received from a 競争相手 保険会社 and ask them to at least match it.??
顧客s should also be aware that 保険会社s will try to 含む 行政 料金s for changes to a 政策 中央の-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語. This 料金, usually between £25 and £50, will be 追加するd if you change a 乗り物 or your home 演説(する)/住所.
However, you can ask for the 料金 to be waived if it is a minor adaptation, such as changing from a 正規の/正選手 number plate to a personalised 登録 number.
2. Consider a telematics (黒人/ボイコット box) 政策
黒人/ボイコット box 政策s are where the 保険会社 任命する/導入するs a system in your car to 監視する your 運動ing. This is designed to reward those who 運動 carefully.
Many of these 装置s are 目的(とする)d に向かって younger 運転者s, who can 劇的な 減ずる their high 賞与金s by 任命する/導入するing one and 証明するing themselves a sensible driver.?
However, any 運転者 is able to get one. 公式に called telematics, these 装置s check your 速度(を上げる), how 積極性 you 加速する and ブレーキ, and how 慎重に you 運動.?
They also 記録,記録的な/記録する whether you are on the road at 'dangerous' times, for example in the 早期に hours of the morning.
They can 削減(する) 賞与金s 大幅に once you start 証明するing you are a good driver. Some 保険会社s even 申し込む/申し出 an upfront 割引 if you take out a telematics 政策.
3. Be careful of how many drivers are 指名するd
Another way to 削減(する) 賞与金s is to 確実にする that only 正規の/正選手 drivers are 指名するd on the 政策.?
追加するing a young, inexperienced driver can be a 誤った economy, 特に if you have a large or higher-力/強力にするd 乗り物.
The 賞与金 will be 影響する/感情d by the youngest driver, and he or she may not have a no-(人命などを)奪う,主張するs 特別手当.?
保険会社s have also been 割れ目ing 負かす/撃墜する on 前線ing, where parents insure cars in their 指名する for children to 削減(する) costs.?
Make sure if you are the policyholder on a car driven by your children that you are 現実に its main driver - or that you 宣言する さもなければ.?
You can always 追加する someone for a few days when they really need to 運動 the car.
運転者s should 避ける putting 時折の 使用者s on their 政策 long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語, as it could be pricey
4. 支払う/賃金 毎年
When taking out a new 政策, drivers will be given the 選択 to either to 支払う/賃金 for the whole year upfront or in 月毎の instalments.
Many 選ぶ for the 月毎の 支払い(額)s as it means not having to part with a large sum of money in one go ? but if you can afford to 支払う/賃金 your 年一回の 賞与金 upfront, you could save money.
This is because your 保険会社 may 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 you 利益/興味 on the 月毎の instalments. It is 価値(がある) asking them if there is a difference and if so, what it is.
5. 保護する your no-(人命などを)奪う,主張するs 特別手当
A long no-(人命などを)奪う,主張するs 特別手当 is the 選び出す/独身 best way of cutting car 保険 costs, so 保護する it.?
保護するing your no-(人命などを)奪う,主張するs 特別手当 means you can (人命などを)奪う,主張する on your car 保険 up to a 明示するd 限界, or in 確かな circumstances, without 影響する/感情ing the 特別手当.?
This may 増加する the 賞与金 by a few 続けざまに猛撃するs, but this fades into insignificance against the 可能性のある loss of a 90 per cent 割引 on a 賞与金 of several hundred 続けざまに猛撃するs.
However, the 鮮明度/定義 of a 保護するd no-(人命などを)奪う,主張するs 特別手当 can 変化させる 広範囲にわたって between 保険会社s.

一方/合間, the compulsory 超過 is 始める,決める by the 保険会社 and cannot be changed or 交渉するd.?
When a driver gets an 保険 引用する, the 保険会社 will look at the (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) 供給するd and decide how much of a 危険 the driver is based on age, 運動ing experience, type of car, any previous (人命などを)奪う,主張するs and other factors.?
If the driver needs to (人命などを)奪う,主張する, the two 超過s are 追加するd together (known as the total 超過) and the driver must 支払う/賃金 the total 量 に向かって the (人命などを)奪う,主張する.
When thinking about 超過s on car 保険, it's really important to make sure you can affor d to 支払う/賃金 the total 超過, should you need to (人命などを)奪う,主張する.?
When 引用するing or buying a car 保険 政策, it may seem like a good idea to 増加する the voluntary 超過 in return for lower 賞与金s, but if you can't afford to 支払う/賃金 the 超過 when you need to (人命などを)奪う,主張する you may find that you are unable to 完全にする the (人命などを)奪う,主張する as you don’t have the 基金s to 支払う/賃金.
It's also 価値(がある) 耐えるing in mind that the value of a (人命などを)奪う,主張する on an 保険 政策 must 越える the total 超過, さもなければ the 保険会社 will not 支払う/賃金 out.

8. Do より小数の miles
A lower mileage can help keep 保険 costs 負かす/撃墜する. The より小数の miles that you 運動, the いっそう少なく time you are on the road and the いっそう少なく likely you are to have an 事故 ? so 保険会社s will often look favourably upon this lower 危険 and price your 賞与金s lower.??

Lots of factors can 影響(力) how much a car model costs to insure, 含むing engine size, 安全 features, and 修理 costs. 普通は, the bigger engine your car has, the higher the 保険 賞与金.
Drivers should also 避ける buying a car with customised modifications such as spoilers or wheel 縁s, as these can 増加する 保険 賞与金s.?
