Cheapest time to buy car insurance

Personally my own insurance has never been as expensive as quoted above but there are still substantial savings to be made

Funny how there's no more comments on either of our post about this subject, OP! It would appear that they're too busy arguing between themselves about what posts there or not!

I've not found any conclusive evidence that any specific time is best for finding a cheaper quote. Sometimes a cheap quote 3 weeks before renewal can disappear within a week, particularly if the timescale spans the next month. Similarly leaving it later can see new deals enter.

I just decide what I'm willing to pay and make sure it's with a company that I can expect to be able to trust.

Was there 2 threads, Nellie? This system is all over the place.

Yes WN, there were. OP & I posted about the me with slightly different titles but the subject came from the same source. The data was supplied by Money Saving Expert, and the finding of LV with regards to those with the highest risk leaving it till the last minute to apply for insurance.

We will definitely have a look when we have a policy due. Thanks for this👍

I also noticed this in the Money Expert email which I subscribe to.

Personally. I will be staying with NFU - who don't participate in any comparison sites - regardless of what it costs me - and I'm doing so, simply because of their reputation for settling claims - and I can talk to someone in their local office, if necessary. I got caught out by switching to a well-known provider a few years ago - had to claim - and got nothing but aggravation throughout the process because I insisted on using the only VW approved repairer in our area ((on a new car still under warranty), rather than theirs.

I might have saved £100 or so - but it certainly caused me more than a £100 worth of grief went it came to the crunch (literally).

It's the same reason why I have just renewed my caravan cover with this Club - as I have posted elsewhere.
