Renewing my Car Insurance

A lot of people don't seem to bother trying to find the best cheap car insurance and tend to just renew with their existing car insurance company. I have tended to do this in previous years. I had a car insurance broker and I just left it to them to contact me when my car insurance was due and they would write to me to tell me what my car insurance quote was.

I used Swinton car Insurance brokers up to this point and I must say I have been generally happy with them. So it wasn't that bad a process. The advantage of using an insurance broker this way was that I didn't need to expend much energy getting insurance quotes or wondering if I was getting the cheapest car insurance.

With hindsight though I think I may have spent more money on my car insurance than I really need to - so this time I am going to be a bit more active about it. I must say also that Swinton were also ok when I had to make a car insurance claim in the past so they got a plus for that as well. All in all they are not a bad insurance broker.

One of the good things about being on the Internet now is that I can get online insurance quotes and compare car insurance much more easily than I could have done by telephone etc.

The car insurance policy I need is pretty standard I think. I need comprehensive insurance and some level of insurance for business use of my car. Its not like I am needing Classic car insurance or performance car insurance or anything complicated or expensive like that! I am pretty standard therefore I think so online insurance firms I would think should be right up my street. I am not sure if they cater for more specialised insurance but as its not what I need right now so that's not a problem. Of course when my son starts out as a learner driver shortly I'll have to get some learner insurance but I will worry about that then.

Car Insurance Companies

Here are some of the car insurance companies that I reckon I have heard of and I maybe should research;
zurich car insurance
co op car insurance
lloyds car insurance
prudential car insurance
hastings car insurance
car insurance supermarket
egg car insurance
norwich car insurance
victoria car insurance
churchhill car insurance

I am not sure if I have the names of all of these right and if they all give online car insurance quotes. The other thing I am going to try is some online car insurance comparison sites. Cant remember the names of any just now though! I'll post again once I have checked out some. Talk to myself again soon!
