How can I get cheaper car insurance?

You can often reduce the cost of insuring your Smart car by adjusting your policy, your payment method and how you use and store your car.

Increase your excess

Raising your voluntary excess can lower your premium. Make sure the total excess is still affordable if you need to make a claim.

Buy your insurance around 20 days before you need it

Our research shows drivers often see the best prices when they compare quotes around 20 days before their policy starts. Buying at this point could save you up to £231^ .

Pay annually instead of monthly

Insuring your Smart car in one annual payment is usually cheaper than paying monthly. Annual cover can cost up to 12.60%^ less overall, saving you up to £172.68^ .

Keep a clean driving record

Speeding offences, convictions and endorsements can increase the cost of car insurance. Driving carefully and legally helps keep premiums lower.

Remove extras you do not need

Optional add-ons, such as breakdown cover or legal expenses, can increase your price. Removing cover you already have elsewhere can reduce the cost.

Build up your no-claims bonus

The longer you go without making a claim, the bigger your no-claims bonus becomes. This can significantly reduce the cost of insuring your Smart car.

Park your Smart car off-road

Parking in a locked garage or secure car park can reduce the risk of theft or damage and may lower your insurance premium.

Add an experienced named driver

If you are a younger or less experienced driver, adding a more experienced named driver can sometimes reduce your premium. The main driver must still be the person who uses the car most.

What type of insurance do I need for a Smart car?

Most drivers choose fully comprehensive cover, as it offers the broadest protection and is often good value.

When choosing insurance for your Smart car, you can pick from three main levels of cover:

  1. Fully comprehensive
    This is the highest level of cover. It protects your car, as well as other vehicles, people and property, if you’re involved in a claim. It usually also includes fire and theft cover.

  2. Third party, fire and theft
    This covers damage you cause to other cars or property and protects your car if it’s stolen or damaged by fire. It does not cover repairs to your own car following an accident.

  3. Third party only
    This is the minimum legal requirement. It only covers damage you cause to others and does not protect your car against damage, fire or theft.

Fully comprehensive policies can sometimes be cheaper than lower levels of cover. Insurers often see drivers who choose this option as lower risk, although prices can still vary depending on the model and how the car is used.
