Industry insights from Danny Butler

We asked Danny for his insider tips on car insurance savings and trends.

How can consumers save big on car insurance?

As a starting point, I'd be looking for a vehicle in a low insurance group in a popular colour with no modifications. For additional savings, I'd look at increasing the excess slightly (if this is an option for you) to lessen the risk for the insurance company and decrease your premiums. Lastly, make sure that you shop around and compare several quotes from a range of different providers and look at different policy dates. The price changes are often substantial and a slight change in policy date could make a big difference to your bottom line.

Where do you see car insurance heading in the next 10 years?

Car insurance is likely to undergo big changes over the next 10 years. The pandemic has highlighted a flaw in the traditional pricing model, which has seen a surge in usage-based insurance companies that address that flaw. With traditional insurers having to innovate more than ever to appease the growing demands of the consumer, we can expect an extremely competitive playing field where the consumer will hopefully finally win. This surge in innovation, coupled with the rise of the electric vehicle market and other sustainable vehicles, will make for a very exciting decade to come.
