Which factors can affect my insurance rates – and how can I save?

As you might expect, the premiums offered by various insurance companies differ depending on your circumstances. Details of how you’d use your car can vary the price of insurance they offer – sometimes by a significant margin. We’ve collected some of the main factors that can affect your insurance rate, and offered some guidelines on how you might be able to reduce your premiums yourself!

• Credit history. Insurance companies are more likely to reward customers with good credit histories.
• Annual miles driven. Would it be possible to reduce the amount you drive? Walking to the shops instead of driving may not seem like such a chore if it meant your premiums coming down.
• Age, geographical location, sex, and marital status of the driver.
• No claims discount. The longer your no claims discount, the more likely it is that your premiums will come down. Insurance companies like careful drivers!
• Is your car modified? Some modifications may have a negative effect on your insurance rate, especially those to do with racing.
• Is your car secure? You may be rewarded with reduced premiums if your car is parked securely and has security features such as tracking devices built-in.
