Most competitive car insurance providers named by site
A price comparison site has named the UK's most consistently competitive car insurance providers. According to research conducted by moneysupermarket.com's car insurance channel, the cheapest car insurers are Kwik Fit and Swiftcover with an average premium of £276.74. Meanwhile, Quinn-Direct and the RAC were named third and fourth best with average premiums of £282.80 and £289.59 respectively.However, Peter Gerrard, head of insurance research at moneysupermarket.com, said that although cost should be a primary concern it is also imperative that motorists consider how appropriate the policy they opt for is for their specific needs. He said: "While cost is a major factor, motorists should make sure they get cover most suited to their needs. It is always worth looking at multiple-person cover, excess levels and breakdown cover within insurance deals."There is nothing stopping drivers from changing their insurer each year and always taking advantage of the most competitive premium. There is no substitute for spending a few minutes comparing quotes online and finding the best deal for your needs."
