Getting Good Motor Insurance Deals

There are many ways to secure deals on your motor insurance. With the rising cost of fuel and motoring in general, having the option to reduce the cost of your insurance can make all the difference when it comes to your household budget, so knowing how to do it is important. The following ideas should get you started on actually being able to find the best motor insurance deals with your broker.

The biggest factors that typically have an impact on the levels of premiums for motor insurance are your age, where you live and your gender. The car you have also plays a part, as does your driving history.

One thing you could easily do to reduce your premium costs is to pay a higher excess. Most insurance companies now offer this option, but this was not always so. Ask your insurer what levels of excess you can pay and they should tell you. This will allow you to offset the cost of an incident against your premiums, and consequently have a reduced monthly premium as a benefit.

Many companies respect the fact that your car is secure and is at less risk of being vandalised or broken into. This is because it reduces liability that they will have to pay for in the event of a claim. If, therefore, your car is off the road and in a garage, then some insurers may reduce your premiums due to your car being “safer”.

In addition if you can say that you have an immobiliser or other security device attached to your car, your premiums should be lower still. Basically the more secure you can make your car, the more insurers tend to relax!

Try your best to make it so you can pay your premium in one go rather than paying by direct debit. Often, insurers will charge you a bit extra if you opt to pay by direct debit. When you bear in mind that some companies can charge interest if you pay your premiums by monthly instalments, then the option to pay in one go seems a lot more attractive.

Take the chance to improve your driving skills if you can. Pass Plus is a test that you can take that will show insurers that you are a more skilled and careful driver. If you have the opportunity to take this test, and then do so, it may reduce the cost of your premiums.

Obviously, drive carefully. Speeding fines and other motoring offences can bump up the cost of your car insurance considerably, with some insurers even refusing to cover motorists who have notched up several pints on their licences or similar.

You can typically get cheaper premiums if you drive a small, family car compared to a flashy sports car so when it comes to buying a new car, look at the insurance group before you buy!

Finally, to get the best motor insurance deals, never just automatically accept your car insurance renewal notice. Shop around or get a broker to do so on your behalf. You may be surprised just how much you can save on the cost of your motor insurance!

Of the three you listed, the Honda sounds like the best deal for several reasons, the biggest being it passed the e-test. You can spend a lot of money getting a car that won't pass up to specs. I like the fact it is a standard, since the weak link in all used cars is the automatic transmission and they are VERY expensive to repair. Once you learn how to work the clutch, it will only take you a couple of weeks to get used to it. The other two cars sound very iffy…I think I'd pass on them. I would get the Honda looked at by a mechanic before I bought it though, just to make sure it has no major defects you might have missed…Good Luck!

My mom ownes a '05 Hyundai Sonata, and she practically tortures it. It is a 4 cylinder automatic car, and she's crashed it into crap so many times. It has 200,000 miles on it and still running strong. We have had problems with the headlights burning out, but they are easily replaced.

The car is a little bit underpowered, but it makes it up hills with no problem. The gas milage is 22 Highway, 19 city by my calculations, and that is really good by todays standards.

My mom has a lead foot though, and she treats it like a piece of crap. It stands up well to abuse from poor driving skills, and it has a reliable engine.

The only thing I would recommend is getting the silver Sonata with the dark grey interior, because on the "champagne" Sonata you can see dirt on the interior everywhere.

The insurance is very affordable, much cheaper than my dads car.

You can find a 2004 or 2005 Hyundai Sonata for about 6,000 USD, and it is definately worth it.

Hope this helps ;)

Replacement motors are available everywhere, from wreckers to rebuild shops. Even the dealer sells all kinds of replacements. No it's not a valid insurance item.. You pay for replacement motors out of your own pocket.

You could call some shops and get prices to put a used engine in the car, would be cheaper. If the whole car was flooded I would expect alot more trouble with the rest of it after the engine is fixed, maybe not worth fixing.

I'm not sure about the "liability insurance" situation you are describing?

Are you guiding people on fishing excursions? (That would be the only reason I can think for you to need insurance…?)

Anyway- Find out what the boat is "rated", (it should be on a tag on the the transom or somewhere inside the hull). Depending on the hull type, most 17FT boats would be rated to at least a 90 H motor.

Do you need to go super fast? A 25-30H motor would propel a loaded 17FT boat with no issues at approx 15-20MPH; plenty fast for most fishermen. If you need more speed go to a 40.

With a Stingray Jr Hydroplane on a 30 H motor you would have the best of all worlds and be able to plane with ease.

Stingray Jr stabilizer?- (The guy who tried to install a hydrofoil on his 5 H motor is an absolute idiot. And YES you do have to drill holes to install it; I installed mine in little over 1 hour. A monkey can figure it out! I talked to a marine tech years ago and he said Hydofoils are best suited for motors from 20H to a 150H.)- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_45204_225011002_225000000_225011000?cmCat=CROSSSELL_SEARCH

Hope this helps ya? Good luck.

Wow that was alot to read, it sounds like you simply want a free fix for the car and it doesn't work like that. If you need an engine you have three options, one is stop making payments and have your credit ruined, two is replace the engine while still making payments, three is to continue to make payments and get another car. You bought the car, you inspected it prior, I dont understand what the problem is, pay to fix it or get rid of it, either way you are responsible for the car payments on a car with that many miles even if it doesn't run.

look in to seasonal insurance. that's really high for just liability I pay like $150 a year for a cbr 600. through country insurance

The victims from the World Trade Center are not just the people killed in the attack that day. You can include the people the liberals have vilified in their never ending attempts to try and prove that terrorists did not actually attack the World Trade Center. I would like to know how much money was paid out to liberals as a result of this attack.

Is this in the brochure that you got with your chip? As I read it, this plan is only in effect when your dog is missing and has an accident. What you are referring to may be a different plan, but read it carefully!
