Car Insurance

Welcome to the Car Insurance page, this is our guide to buying car insurance online in the UK or getting a quote online in the UK. There are lots of companies that offer car insurance online including Budget Insurance, Direct Line, The AA, Screen Trade, Churchill, More Than and many others with lots offering cheap deals.

One thing that you need by law if you wish to drive in the UK is Car Insurance, this comes in three main levels which are third party, third party with fire and theft and fully comprehensive. Third party insurance only covers your liability to others, not you or your own vehicle and is the minimum level of insurance available in the UK legally. Then there is third party with fire and theft cover, this covers you just the same as the third party level but also covers you if your car is stolen or catches fire. Fully comprehensive insurance is the top level of insurance and means that you are covered for claims involving other people, other people's cars, yourself and your own car. The level of cover that you choose depends on your budget but you should get the best cover that you can, fully comprehensive cover does not cost allot more than the third party levels of cover. Most of the main car insurance providers offer all three levels of cover, these include Churchill, Direct Line, More Than, The AA and many others.

The main thing the people are looking for when they go online looking for car insurance is a cheap deal, the great thing about looking for car insurance online is that you can get quotes in a few minutes at each web site and find the cheapest, doing this is a great way of finding cheap car insurance. There are some web sites that claim to search lots of insurance providers and they are good but we find that often they do not search all of the insurance providers, there are lots of companies that offer car insurance online so it really is worth getting a quote at as many as you can to get a cheap deal, especially the main insurance providers like Direct Line, The AA, More Than, Churchill and the other big names.

Many of the car insurance companies like Direct Line, Churchill, The AA, More Than and Budget also offer a discount for buying online, this discount can be anything from 5-20% so you can get a very cheap deal with these discounts. The discount that is offered is compared to the price you would have to pay if you ordered over the telephone or elsewhere, this means that it's very important that you get your quote online, you can always call them to ask any questions before you apply but make sure you buy online so that you get the discount for buying online.

There are also things to consider if you are a female driver or a young driver as age and sex are taken into account when your quote is calculated, if you are a female you will likely get a cheaper quote but if you are young driver then your quote will be more expensive as young drivers are seen as a bigger risk. It's the same with women as women are seen as less of a risk than men drivers, this is due to the fact that women drivers have less accidents and make less claims than men. Another way to save money on car insurance is the no claims discount, if you have been driving for more than one year and have not made a claim then you will be entitled to a no claims discount which will save you money and increase every year that you do not claim. So if you are a women with a few years no claims then you will probably get a very cheap quote it's still worth checking other companies though as you can transfer your no claims discount.

The process of getting a car insurance quote online is very easy, all you have to do is fill in a form which contains information about you and the car you wish to insure, filling in the form should only take a few minutes. If you know the registration plate number then this can save time as when you input that the web site can check the database of cars to get all of the cars details such as it's manufacturer, model, age and any other relevant information. When you have filled in the form all you have to do is submit the form and wait for a few seconds until the quote is displayed, sometimes you then have a few other options that can alter the quote such as the level of cover and legal options.

So the best thing to do to get a cheap car insurance deal is to get a few quotes online, use the services that search many insurance providers and then make sure you search the main providers like Direct Line, More Than, The AA and Churchill separately as they are often not included in the search results. Then when you have a few quotes you will know who is offering the cheapest deal so you can then apply online when you are ready, you have to apply online to get the discount offered by most online car insurance providers and therefore the cheaper deal.
