Flexible Cover

In its most basic form a car insurance policy is one that offers you financial protection in event of damage to your car or yourself (or the person you hit) in the event of an accident. It is also a legal requirement to driving on Britain’s roads.

As it is money that you have to spend you might be forgiven for assuming that the best car insurance policy is the cheapest one, providing that it offers you proper coverage. To a certain extent this is true, but if you shop around you can get additional cover and products without paying too much extra.

So what sort of things should you look for from your car insurance provider? Some companies, like Kwik Fit Insurance, are able to combine insurance with a free M.O.T and discounts on things like having your car serviced*. Some companies offer the option of purchasing P.P.I (Payment Protection Insurance) which pays the premiums of your car insurance should you happen to become unemployed or fall ill.

Another option is getting technical or safety equipment with your car. You can choose, for example, to get an insurance policy from a company that offer you a free SatNav with your policy, or others that offer various immobiliser options. Some companies will allow you to insure expensive technical items in your car in a separate policy, and thus offer you a cheaper deal over all.

Looking at these add-ons from an alternative angle, they can also be an unnecessary expense on a policy. For example, if you don’t want PPI you don’t want to pay extra for a policy that includes it, likewise if you have recently had a stereo installed in your car and insured it separately there is no point in getting expensive technical insurance.

Getting the right car insurance policy is a question of getting the right balance. To get the best value for money you need to get the policy that meets your needs most closely. If there is a type of coverage or an additional extra that you particularly want, don’t settle for a policy that doesn’t offer it, but at the same time you should be aware for policies that include details that look like they may have an associated cost and you don’t want or need. When it comes to shopping for insurance you have to remember that you are the one with the power, and if an offer confuses you, just because the salesman appears to know what they’re talking about, doesn’t mean you should just agree. They want your custom and will work for it, so strike a hard bargain as it’s your money that’s being spent.
