How to find the best coverage for you
There are a number of factors to consider when comparing car insurance policies. While finding an affordable policy will be a priority, it’s important not to choose a policy based on cost alone as it puts you at risk of being underinsured.
Always check the level of coverage on each policy to see what is included as standard and what you may have to pay extra for. Experiment by running different quotes and choosing different add-ons to see how this affects the price so you get the best deal.
Opting for a more expensive policy that provides everything you need will be better for your wallet in the long run if you need to file a claim.
Why it makes sense to compare policies and providers
Auto insurance providers have traditionally offered their most competitive prices to new customers, while those who have been loyal to their insurer year after year have typically paid a higher premium.
With the introduction of new FCA rules in January 2022, car (and home) insurance companies are now banned of offering a higher price to existing customers on renewal compared to new customers.
Despite this, Shopping for your auto insurance every year is still the best way to make sure you get the right coverage at the best price.
By reading customer reviews on sites like Trustpilot, you can also see how existing policyholders rate their coverage and customer service. Defaqto also gives star ratings to auto insurers, which can be a good indicator of the service they provide.
