How do I keep my costs as low as possible?

There are a few steps you can take to drastically lower you the cost of your car insurance. Storing your car in a garage or using a drive way is viewed by the insurance companies as lowering the risk of accident or vandalism. The security of your car will also effect the price of insurance. Tracking devices and electronic wheel locking can drive down the costs of insurance by reducing the risk of theft. Using your car less can also drive down the cost as many insurers will consider mileage when setting the premium.

Paying a higher level of voluntary excess is one of the most effective way to lower your insurance premium. Agreeing to pay the first £200 rather than £100 of any claim should have a significant effect.
