Saving money on international car insurance is always a priority for our clients. This has become increasingly important in the current economic environment. Price Forbes & Partners has some suggestions for keeping your insurance cost down:
When choosing a car
Ask for quotes on a few of your preferred model of vehicle in order to obtain which model is best for offering a low premium.
When completing your proposal form
Don't guess the purchase price or value of your vehicle, or your average annual mileage. By overestimating, you may increase the cost of your insurance.
Think about increasing your voluntary excess/deductible in order to reduce your premium. Ensure that the excess/deductible is a realistic amount - you don't want to be left without a car should you not be able to afford the excess/deductible after an incident.
Security
Ensuring your car is secure could have an effect on the cost of your premium. Fitting an alarm, immobiliser or tracker may reduce your premium and fitting all three may bring it down further.
Where possible, park your car on a driveway, or better still a garage or underground secure area rather than on the road.
Be forthcoming
Don't be shy to mention anything to us which you feel may reduce your premium further. Our quotes are not machine generated, they are produced by an experienced team member on a bespoke basis, and this ensures you receive a policy tailor made to your requirements.
And lastly
Drive carefully! It can save you money, and more importantly, it could save your life.
