An introduction to car insurance

Of all the financial products owned in the UK, car insurance is one of the most common. The reason for this is simple: to drive a vehicle on the road legally it needs to be insured, and with 26 million cars on our roads, that's a huge number of people insuring a vast number of vehicles.

Most of these people are given the chance to review their policies each year, allowing them to switch to a different company should they desire based on price, and the quality of service provided. Theoretically this should mean that everyone knows everything there is to know about insuring a vehicle, but this is not necessarily the case.

Many people simply allow their policy to renew itself each year when it expires, potentially losing hundreds of pounds by not shopping around for a more competitive quote or only changing insurer when rising car insurance prices become particularly noticeable
