THINK ABOUT YOUR EXCESS
The ‘excess’ on a policy is the amount the policyholder has to pay in the event of a claim before the insurance pays out. The higher the excess, the lower the premium.
SHOP AROUND FOR COVER
Compare different policies and premiums before making a decision. Don’t just buy the cheapest – make sure its right for you. Check price comparison sites such as Gocompare.com, Comparethemarket.com and Moneysupermarket.com.
PAY ANNUALLY, NOT MONTHLY
Premiums are quoted as an annual price – but you can opt to pay monthly. This will work out more expensive, as interest is added. So, it’s cheaper to pay for your annual cover upfront.
