Things to bear in mind when looking for car insurance:
You could find yourself out of pocket in the future if you do not get the level of cover you need, so do not buy your policy on price alone.
For example, if you choose a third party, fire and theft policy you would not be covered for any damage to your car in an accident that was your fault, so you would need to pay for your repairs yourself.
As well as comparing quotes you can do other things to cut the price of your monthly car insurance premium:
Paying in one go will usually work out cheaper than paying in instalments because most insurers add interest of up to 30% if you pay monthly.
You get a discount for covering two or more cars with the same insurer. Here is how multi car insurance works, and you can find quotes here.
Having alarms and immobilisers fitted can also reduce your premium- but check your car insurance policy first
Paying more of an excess, in addition to your car insurer’s statutory one, can reduce premiums.

It could be worth paying to protect your bonus because losing it by making a claim could mean a huge increase in the cost of your cover when you renew. Most insurers will not give you the option of protecting your bonus until you have at least three years of no claims history. No claims protection can come to around 10% of your policy's cost, so if your premium is £300 a year, you will need to pay another £30 to protect your no claims.
