Brits are car insurance deal detectives
The results of new research indicate that most Brits are bargain hunters when it comes to choosing a suitable car insurance deal.A study conducted by the Fair Investment Company 57 per cent of those UK motorists quizzed named price as the most important element of securing cover on their vehicle.The level of cover was deemed much less important, with only 19 per cent viewing it as the crucial aspect of selecting a policy.James Caldwell, Fairinvestment.co.uk's director, said: "Motorists should be careful choosing their car insurance by price alone, the cheapest car insurance is not always the best and there are other aspects to be taken into consideration."I would advise anybody shopping for car insurance to compare deals not just on price but also policy features, some of which may be outlined in the small print."Some two per cent of participants in the survey named breakdown cover and a no claims bonus as the part of a deal most important to them.
