Car Insurance Information

Take advantage of MoneySupermarket's car insurance guides and tips

If you own a car, then you will almost certainly have to buy car insurance. But how do you choose the right policy?

There are hundreds of deals on the market, all offering different levels of cover and charging different premiums - and it can be confusing. But the more you find out about the various policies on offer, the more likely you are to find the best deal at the best price.

And MoneySupermarket can help. Our car insurance guide tells you all you need to know about the various types of cover, so you can understand the difference between a third party and a comprehensive policy as well as the intricacies of a compulsory excess and a no claims discount. It's all the car insurance information you ever wanted to know - and much more.  

Specialist car insurance

But what if you need something a bit special? You might have lovingly built your car from scratch, or maybe you drive a classic or imported car. Some mainstream insurers are reluctant to cover vehicles that do not fit the norm, but you can find out about specialist cover by reading one of our specialist car insurance guides.

Keep up to date with the news

Our car insurance news section can also help you to keep up to date with all the latest goings-on in the industry, including the increasing use of technology to drive down premiums, particularly for younger drivers.

Take advantage of customer reviews

It's always a good idea to research as much as you can about an insurer before you sign on the dotted line - and what better way than to canvass the views of other customers. So, if you want to know whether a firm lives up to its hype, or whether it treats its customers with respect, why not visit our car insurance reviews section?
