It is known today that three quarters of the population currently in the UK own 1 or more vehicle. Due to these figures it is not surprising that car insurance is one of if not the most required and highly purchased insurances there is today.

There are many ways of reducing the cost of your car insurance:

' Shop around, find the best deal there is for you.

Do not take the first price you are given because it looks good, even if it better than you expected it is more than likely their will be a similar deal elsewhere for a better price. Some companies can charge you double the amount compared to other companies with the exact same amount of cover available. The reason for this is that some companies may find something a lot more high risk than others would.

The more companies you research the better deal you will receive.

' Have a lower grouped car.

With so many different motor vehicles and cars on the road today, insurance companies tend to split these into groups.

With roughly 20 different groups today, the higher the group you are in then the more expensive your cover will be for the year.

If you have only recently passed your test or you are relatively young, then it is a lot more sensible and recommended that you purchase a car in the lowest group as this will reduce the amount you have to pay.

So when purchasing a new car, try and remember which group your vehicle is classed under and as things can start getting expensive the higher group you go.

' Purchasing online

Also if you purchase your insurance online you are likely in today's climate to receive a discount, this is because you are not dealing with a sales advisor and the saving the company is receiving is being passed to you via a online discount.

Also another benefit with purchasing cover online is there are many comparison sites today that will do the majority of the work for you in getting the right price.

' Clean record

Try keeping your record clean by obeying the rules and keeping out of trouble, as keeping a no claims bonus and a 5 years no claim bonus could see you receiving a huge amount on your premium.

' Security

Making sure your vehicle is as secure and safe as possible will also save you money, make sure your cars alarm is working and see if it is possible to get a chip placed in it so that it can be tracked if stolen.

Also making sure it is in a secure environment at night, and as far away from busy main roads is likely to save you around 5% alone.

' Further education:

By undergoing any further courses or education to further or road knowledge and prepare you for certain situations, is a commonly known way of bringing down your premium and saving you some money as it is believed to make you an even better driver.

' Paying your insurance in full

By paying your insurance in one go will also save you a lot of money as if you pay monthly you usually pay a few hundred pounds more.

Other effective ways to lower the annual cost of your insurance, is simply by reducing the number of miles you do per year, taking out third party cover rather than fully comprehensive (especially on less valuable cars) and by not having unnecessary drivers on your policy.

Also online is not just beneficial to young drivers, even if you are older and have more than vehicle you can still find a better deal online on multi car insurance than you are likely to using any other method.
