  1. Decide What Level of Cover You Need

One reason why some people seem to spend a lot of money on their car insurance is because they’re paying for what they don’t need. Many have purchased cover that they neither want, nor use.

Figure out whether you really need additions like a courtesy car or breakdown cover.

  1. Fit a Dashboard Camera

The dashboard camera first took off in America, but has no increased in popularity all over the world. The camera lets you prove to your insurance company that you’re a good driver, and can stop falsified claims being made against you.

  1. Change Location

The street you live on could be costing you hundreds of dollars extra in insurance premiums. If it’s an accident hotbed, you can be sure your insurance company has ramped up the cost of your cover. Moving to a different area can reduce the cost of your premiums, assuming it has a better safety profile.

  1. Drive Less

The longer you’re in your vehicle, the more chance you have of being in some kind of accident. It’s a pessimistic thought, but that’s how insurance companies see It. If you reduce the amount of miles you drive, you’ll lower the cost of your premiums by 10-15%.

  1. Opt for Third Party

Third-party insurance is often much cheaper compared to fully comprehensive cover. While you’re not protected against as with third party, it’s a good option for those with a cheap vehicle who want to pay less. You can also upgrade a little to include third party, fire and theft, if you’d like that little bit more coverage.

  1. Enhance Your Security

The harder it is to steal your car, the less chance there is that it will get stolen. Insurance is a numbers game, meaning the more you improve the odds of your vehicle staying safe, the less risk to your provider. They’ll reward you efforts with lower premiums, as it’s less likely they’ll need to pay out of your car is locked away safe in a garage.

  1. Added to Your Policy a Named Driver

Named drivers carry a certain amount of prestige with them. While your car insurance company needs to know who the main driver of a vehicle is at all times, having a named driver to “vouch” for the other car user carries a degree of weight. This benefits new drivers and those under 25 most of all. Those two groups will likely enjoy lower premiums if adding a named driver to their policy.
