If a cheap car insurance offer appears on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat or WhatsApp and the price is far lower than anything you have seen elsewhere, stop before sending money. It may be a scam known as ghost broking.
Compare Insurance Quotes and See How Much You Could Save
If your car insurance feels expensive, there are usually two things going on. One is the wider market: repairs, parts, claims and replacement vehicle costs can all affect what insurers charge. The other is personal to you: your car, postcode, driving history, mileage, job, cover level, no-claims discount and how you pay.
If your car insurance renewal is three or four weeks away, now is usually the time to start comparing. Leave it until the final day and you may still find cover, but you give yourself less room to check the price, the excess, the payment terms and the policy properly. The strongest published timing advice points to comparing before renewal pressure kicks in.
