How can I save on my Vauxhall Zafira premiums?

Unless money isn’t an issue for you, price is going to play a major role in your car insurance decision making. To keep your car insurance premiums at an affordable price, we’ve devised a list of handy tips for you to consider:

• Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £123.76 a year!
• Make yourself a secure investment. By keeping a good credit rating and maintaining a clean history of no claims, you will appeal to insurance companies and they may reward you with lower premiums.
• Be economical about your car usage. By being sparing about your car usage, and instead opting for public transport or walking, you can save money on your premiums.
• Don’t just accept your renewal quote. The renewal quote you’re given isn’t always the best one out there for you, so make sure you shop around.
• Install extra safety precautions. Companies don’t like to insure risks, so the more secure your vehicle is, the lower your premiums may be.
• Avoid driving convictions. Driving convictions, or any convictions for that matter, will hike up your premiums, so you should try your best to avoid them.
