Before you cut your car insurance, get quotes for the same policy elsewhere

One small thing you could do

Get out your policy or renewal notice and write down what you pay, what the policy covers and who drives the car. Then ask two or three other insurers, or a broker, for a quote for exactly the same cover and the same facts. If you are thinking of dropping the part that pays for your own car, ask for one more quote without it, so you can see the real saving; if you owe money on the car or lease it, ask your lender first. Look up what cars like yours are selling for near you. Keep your current policy until a new one has started, give true answers to every question, and keep the cover your state or country requires.
