Insurance

When choosing your car insurance provider, it's important that you compare policies on a like-for-like basis to ensure you get the best quality cover at the most competitive price; comparing on price alone could have disastrous consequences. Between April 2010 and April 2011 the average car insurance premium rose by 30.7% to £814.80 so it definitely pays to shop around.

You should also consider what level of excess you want to have on your premium; having a higher excess could mean a lower premium but it's important to consider how much excess you can afford to pay, should you have an accident, for example.

It also pays to look at the insurance category of any car before you buy; the cost of which will be affected by your car’s price, the price of spare parts, the general cost of repairs, its performance and level of security.

Whether you are a new driver or have been driving for a number of years, you should consider your own driving style and if you are a safe driver. Being careful and considerate is important for your own safety and that of the public. If you have a clean driving licence it provides your insurance company with some evidence that you are a responsible driver and could assist in gaining you a competitive quote for your cover.

Sainsbury’s customers who have a Nectar card will get a 25 per cent discount on car insurance when they take out a policy.

The offer, which lasts until Tuesday November 8th, means card holders get an additional ten per cent saving on top of the 15 per cent they got previously.

New Sainsbury’s car insurance customers also receive double Nectar points on all shopping in-store, online and in petrol filling stations for two years.

This saving equates to the equivalent of two per cent off purchases, Sainsbury’s claimed.

For example, a household spending £49 a week in-store at Sainsbury’s could earn up to a week’s free shopping over a year.
