-Consider whether cover for you or your car is more suitable.
-If you are a ‘high-risk’ customer (e.g. most providers assume that younger people will make more call outs) then you might get better value cover with a company that has fixed vehicle-based prices.
-Always check the small print to see what is covered by a policy. If you are unsure about anything always contact the provider before you buy.
-‘Pay and claim’ policies are harder to find and less convenient but generally work out a lot cheaper.
-Beware of policies that promise ‘free’ European cover and other complimentary features as they will usually be built into the premium price.
-Buy online when possible (it is usually cheaper) and try to take advantage of limited-period deals which are regularly offered by the major breakdown cover providers
