New car insurance policy - changing address in one month

spasmos

Hopefully someone can give me some advice!

I'm taking out a new car insurance policy in a week, which I will register at my current address. However, I will be moving at the end of June, though I don't know the postcode yet, only the rough area.

I'm planning on paying the insurance in total, but I'm aware that when moving I could incur extra costs, especially since the area I'm moving to perhaps isn't as safe.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can best manage this from a financial perspective? Should I be checking for anything in the insurance contract (such as additional fees) that could change my mind about who I take the policy out with in the first place?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you should check on the cost of an admin change such as change of address, as some insurers charge a lot more than others for this, and it could be a false economy to take out a cheap policy in this instance. Obviously it would also be worth doing some dummy quotes for the new area to get at least some idea of the extra cost for cover there.
