When it comes around to that time of year where you’re prompted to pay your car insurance, many will spend hours shopping around for a better deal. However there is still a large portion of the general public who are not looking for a better deal, which could see them losing &110.

The recently released Premium Driver Report found that the average cost of car insurance between December 2015 – February 2016 was &682.26. This quote was over &100 more expensive than the cheapest quote at the time.

The report also found that the price of the cheapest available car insurance has risen to &552.95 which is 17.5% higher than the cheapest insurance quote in February last year.

Simon McCulloch says, “Unfortunately, the rise of motor insurance premiums does not seem to be going away any time soon. While external factors like the Insurance Premium Tax hike will have inevitably pushed up premiums, it seems that the inertia of some motor insurance customers has been the real driver of the premium increase.”

Research shows that shopping around for insurance may seem like a waste of your time, but it’s actually healthy for the industry! It encourages the various providers to become competitive with their prices and it helps them to generate new sales.
