How much you pay for your insurance will depend on many factors. The first decision you will have to make before getting your quotes is the type of insurance you need. There are three choices, fully comprehensive, third party fire and theft and third party only.

Fully comprehensive is the most complete form of insurance you can choose to take. It will payout for damages made to your car if you should be involved in an accident and that of the third party. It will also cover for medical costs for injuries to yourself and the third party and for damage to your car due to fire. It would also payout if your car were to be stolen.

Third party fire and theft would payout if your car was to be damaged by fire or it was stolen. It would also cover a third parties damages and medical expenses; however it would not payout for damages to your car. Third party only would cover the cost of repair to the third parties car and for medical costs to the third party but not for your own, this is the least amount of insurance you can take and is the cheapest.

However there is far more to obtaining the cheapest car insurance than this. There are other factors which have to be taken into account and some of these you can use to help reduce the cost of your car insurance. Factors that the insurance company will take into account when it comes to determining how much your car insurance premiums will be include your age, sex, the type of car you drive and the size of the engine. They also take into account how safe your car is and even the colour of the car can affect the premiums.

The younger you are then the more your car insurance will cost. This is because younger drivers have less experience on the road than an older driver. They are also seen to take more risks and drive faster than the older driver. If you are a younger driver there are insurance companies that will offer cheaper car insurance deals and it is these insurance companies you should focus on. You can also take advanced driving lessons to improve your safety and buy a smaller car with a smaller engine.

Women drivers can also make savings by focusing their search with those lenders that offer insurance for women drivers. Despite the bad name and jokes surrounding women driver's insurance companies believe them to be the safer drivers. This is due to the fact that fewer women than men claim on their insurance.

Other ways you are able to keep down the cost and get cheaper car insurance deals are to park you car overnight in a garage, install additional security measures such as steering locks, immobilisers and tracking devices. Of course the cheapest quotes are to be found with the specialist website and once you have got several quoted then compare them at your leisure for the best deal.
