Extra insurance tips


It is best to have a lower voluntary excess encase of that unfortunate event you may have in the future, but this increases your premium. The higher you have it, the cheaper the insurance tends to be.
If your car is old (or if you are reading this for a motorcycle/old van etc), make sure to fit an approved alarm, immobiliser and preferably a tracking device as this can ad a discount of about 5%. It also prevents the vehicle getting stolen and helps it get recovered if the unfortunate was to happen.

By agreeing to a mileage restriction, you can save a bit of extra money. The fewer the miles you agree to do a year, the cheaper the insurance will be. A cut of more than 10,000 miles a year could save more than £100, so it is definitely worth considering, especially if you aren't doing that many miles each year.

Don't add a young driver without experience and no claims to your policy as it will result it significantly increasing your insurance premium each year.

Ensure, if you are ever to upgrade/downgrade to a different model or make of vehicle, that you check with your insurance how much the premium is going to change, as sometimes it can be significant. Even getting an older vehicle can increase your premium by hundreds, so be careful.

The place your vehicle is stored overnight is a great saver if you can keep it locked out of site in a garage or a place similar, so if this is a possibility, keep this is mind as it can really decrease your premium.

Finally, just drive more carefully to save yourself having to claim. Taking advanced driving courses can decrease your premiums by up to 35% by some major insurers.

  4. I've been shopping around for insurance in Calgary, and these tips have come in handy. I'd never heard of a mileage restriction clause. I don't drive much, so I'm definitely going to ask about that.

  6. I may need home insurance this year. A lot of break ins have been happening nearby. I have no security systems so it is a big deal for me to be a target of a break in.

  7. I didn't know mileage restrictions were even an option. That would be great for my husbands car since he only uses it for a short commute. I'll get in touch with an insurance company and see if we can get our rate lowered by using some of these great tips. Thanks a ton. http://www.ngainsurancecenter.com/services

  12. When it comes to home insurance, you want to get the best coverage for the least amount of money. Usually this isn't the case, with one option outweighing the other. In this day and age, lots of people are doing what they can to save money. Adding an alarm to your car can decrease the amount of insurance you pay, the same goes if you add a reputable alarm system to your home. What would be some other things you could to your home to lower the insurance? http://floridahomeinsuranceagency.com/home/port-st-lucie/
