How can I save on my Ford Mondeo premiums?

When selecting car insurance, it’s important that you find the best policy at a price that’s affordable for you. However, sometimes premiums increase, and you end up spending more. But fear not! We’ve devised a list of tips to try and help you to keep your premiums low.

• Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £73.94 a year!
• Make yourself a secure investment. By keeping a good credit rating and a clean history of no claims, you will appeal more to insurance companies, making them more likely to reward you with lower premiums.
• Be economical about your car usage. Whilst it is tempting to use your car for all your travelling needs, by opting for public transport or a quick walk to the shops, you can actually save on your premiums.
• Don’t just accept your renewal quote. When it’s time for renewal, the quote you’re given isn’t always the best option out there. Make sure that you shop around and compare quotes before you commit to anything.
• Install extra safety precautions. Companies don’t like insuring risks, so you need to make sure your vehicle is safe. By investing in some extra safety features, you could in turn save money on your premiums.
• Avoid driving convictions. Driving convictions will increase the price of your premiums, so you should try your best to avoid them.
