Variation in car insurance prices depending on start date of policy?

vikinggreen

Thanks, that's very interesting and helpful. I'm also glad that it probably doesn't apply to travel insurance, because that is often a last-minute purchase for me.

I couldn't find any information about this "short-term" price hike on MSE's main pages, so perhaps someone from the site might consider it worth a mention? There are so many other money saving tips on car insurance that were incredibly helpful that perhaps this should be flagged as well?

However, I'm only a very occasional poster on here, so it's not for me to say what MSE should do.

You read the wrong main pages.


There is an article devoted to getting cheap car insurance (link in the quick links at the to of the page)


See section 9 for advice on locking into a quote prior to your renewal date:
