“Lots of things” can lower car cover costs
Written by Richard Benjamin
Motorists looking to save some money on their car insurance premiums so that they can upgrade their car bulbs to something a little more exotic may welcome advice from the British Insurance Brokers’ Association.
Graeme Trudgill, technical and corporate affairs executive at the organisation, explained that there are "lots of things" that a driver can do to lower their premium.
For example, investing in a smaller – or slightly older – vehicle could help to cut costs, he noted.
In addition, completing an accredited course such as Pass Plus – which has been designed by the Driving Standards Agency and aims to develop new road users’ skills – could also help to reduce the cost of cover, Mr Trudgill explained.
He noted that some lenders will reduce the charges they levy against drivers by up to 30 per cent if they have taken such measures, meaning that there could be plenty of cash left over to invest in a set of new car bulbs.
