We’re sure we aren’t the only ones feeling like the pennies – or rather, pounds – are leaving our account faster than you can say “living costs are insane right now”.

So, we would like to try to help by revisiting some helpful tips that could help you keep your car insurance costs low. Just like a popular supermarket likes to state, every little helps, right?

Window shopping is not time wasted

You’re probably sick of us harping on about this one by now, but just in case we have a new reader out there who missed the memo, we’re making it the first one on our list. Also, because it’s the most useful.

When it comes to taking out insurance in general, one would hope that you shop around. That’s kind of our thing, too. It’s why we provide hundreds of car insurance providers and their deals, so you can get the best option out there, whilst making the most of your money.

Check your mileage

Last week, we posted asking you to check your annual mileage if you’re one of many returning to the office after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. However, something to consider is that not all Brits will be returning to a full 5 days in the office again.

Some companies are still opting for bubbles or rotas, encouraging a hybrid style of working. If you’re still working from home some of the time, your annual mileage is still going to be lower than it used to be pre-Covid.

So, that’s something to consider. Check your mileage and make sure it’s as accurate as possible. You may be driving less than you think.

Have you considered multi-car insurance deals?

If you live in a household where you have more than 1 car registered to the property, it may be worth checking to see if you’re entitled to sign up for a multi-car insurance policy.

Most of the time, customers end up saving money in the long-term, as providers would rather have more than just one of you signing up for a policy. This results in a better deal overall – and if you’re a family with 3 or 4 cars, well that’s even better!

Consider the best type of car insurance for your wallet

Perhaps a black box will help you save the pennies, or if you can afford the upfront cost, paying annually instead of monthly often works out cheaper. If your budget allows, consider purchasing a car with cheaper insurance fees, as flashier cars do tend to have higher maintenance costs.

Ultimately, if you take the above into consideration, you’re already on your way to making a saving. The next step? Complete our 3-minute form and access cheap car insurance deals from hundreds of providers.
