Car insurance premiums can make a huge dent in your bank balance, so don’t assume that your current insurer is offering you the best deal when your policy renewal comes due.  It obviously makes sense to shop around for competitive quotes, but to increase your savings, you should also make sure that you get a cash rebate on your purchase (this will not happen if you renew through comparison sites).   An easy way to do this is to get all your quotes via your own Ei42 Cashback Shop – the shops are free and quick to open and contain over 1300 top UK stores and companies.

When my motor insurance  came up for renewal today, I used my Ei42 Shop to get quotes from a selection of car insurance companies.  The best deal for me (a middle-aged female with an old low-mileage Yaris) turned out to be with the Co-operative Insurance (formerly CIS General Insurance).  The site was easy to use, quick to load, I added more options and still saved over £23 by not renewing with my existing insurer, and I earned £27.90 cashback – giving a total saving of £51.74.

Obviously, the cost of motor insurance varies widely depending on your age, gender,  car type and age, etc , but  I’d recommend getting a quote from the Co-Operative Insurance, whatever your profile.  I’d also recommend opening your own Ei42 Cashback Shop for all your online shopping needs!
