cheap car insurance

There are a variety of ways to dramtically cut your car insurance, the best ones I have found are listed below.

1. Paying Monthly
Be careful if you elect to make monthly payments for your car insurance. Usually they charge you a ridiculous amount of interest. If you can afford it pay it all in one lump sum, or use a 0% Credit Card.

2. Your Employment Status
Insurers give preferential rates to occupations with the smallest history of claims, so by tweaking you job description you can save ££'s. Martin Lewis at MSE has a fun job-picker tool for doing this.

3. Comparison Sites
Everyone knows about price comparison websites. For insurance, they are especially useful since they can save hours of time searching for the best quote. But since each comparison site has different insurance providers, you have to ensure you search as many as you can. By searching all the sites below, you will cover 99% of the Insurance providers. It may take you up to 25 minutes, but savings can be huge.
