Compare Car Insurance
Are you confused by the range of TV ads for comparison websites such as moneysupermarket and go compare claiming that their service will let you compare the entire insurance market? By only using one comparison site for your car insurance you could only be comparing around 50% of the market. By following our simple step-by-step guide below you'll be able to search a substantially higher proportion of insurers than the average offered by comparison sites.
Step 1: Quote from at least 2 of the comparison sites below

Step 3: Pick up the phone and haggle
Many insurance companies have a more flexible margin on their premiums if you are willing to take out a policy there and then. Once you have obtained your quote online it is well worth giving them a call to see if you can negotiate any additional discount to persuade you to purchase straight away.
