Car Insurance Job Picker

How can the job picker save me money on my car insurance?

When getting a car insurance quote you'll have to tell insurers what your job is and sometimes what industry you work in as well.

However, insurers base their quotes partly on risk, and they base this on claims data they've collected over the years. Your job may impact how you drive, when in the day you drive and who you drive with. And over time, insurers have collected vast quantities of claims data for each job and industry, which ultimately impacts the quotes those professions receive.

All insurers tend to use a standard list, which means that sometimes your actual job title might not always appear in the job titles listed - so, you'll have to pick the best match.

It's sometimes the case that there are multiple job titles and industries that could describe what you do, and this tool will help to identify what those titles are and whether they're quoted lower premiums on average.

Is it ok to change my job title when getting a quote?

While tweaking your job title is a legitimate way to cut the cost of your car insurance, it's important the title you choose accurately reflects what you do for a living. If this isn't the case, then it's classed as fraud and your insurer can cancel your policy and add you to a central fraud database that other insurers can see.

If you work two or more jobs, then it'll be expected you list the job you spend most of your time doing.

What next?

The data listed via our tool is an average for all the policies sold that listed those occupations. Your car insurance quote will be based on a range of other factors, including your age, the car you drive and your driving history. The next step is to fill in our quote form to compare quotes for you and your car.
