By sticking with the same provider year after year, you're probably paying far more than you need for your insurance.
Recent research from Consumer Intelligence, an independent market research company, found that motorists could save an average of £155.20 a year on the cost of their car insurance by using moneysupermarket.com.

Top tips on getting the best possible quote:
Shop around each year - don't assume that the renewal quote you receive from your current insurer will be the best you can get - it probably won't be. Most insurers offer their most competitive rates to new customers, so it is vital to shop around for the best deal every year.
Be prepared - when you sit down to get a quote, make sure you have the details of your car and any previous claims to hand.
Tell the truth - when inputting your details, be honest and accurate. Any white lies or mistakes could mean you aren't covered if you need to make a claim, or you may pay more than you need to.
Compare like-with-like - make sure you are comparing like-with-like when looking at premiums. You need to ensure you are looking at the same level of cover. For example, some insurers may include things like a courtesy car and windscreen cover as standard while others may classify these as extras and charge you more accordingly.
Cheap isn't necessarily the best - buying the cheapest insurance policy may prove to be a false economy if it doesn't offer you the level of cover you need. Therefore, while price is important, it may be worth paying a little bit more in order to get more comprehensive protection.
