FAQs about Car Insurance Groups

How can I save on my car insurance premium?
Here are some ways that could potentially make your car insurance cheaper:
Change the way you pay
Consider paying for your car insurance upfront rather than in monthly instalments. This way you could avoid the additional interest charges that come with monthly payments.
Only get the cover you really need
Avoid optional extras that don’t benefit you or wouldn’t protect you based on your personal circumstances.
Shop around and compare
We have access to a panel of insurers who can compare car insurance options and find the perfect value for you.
Try to drive less and with more care
Reducing the amount you drive could lower the price of your premium, because ultimately, the less time you spend on the road, the less likely you are to have an accident.
Increase your car’s security
Keeping your car more secure puts your property at less risk, meaning incidents are less likely to occur.
