Car insurance makes no sense to me

That's probably now ok but from experience you' probably won't get lower ones now.
As you will know insurance is all about risk and statistics and years ago I found that the nearer I got quotes to my insurance renewal date they sometimes started to rise and had always assumed that as time got nearer they considered you were getting more desperate so didn't offer lower quotes. This week it was announced that its best to search around a month before renewal because the later you leave it the higher the quotes may get....the reason?
Because statistics show that people who run quotes and buy later on have a higher risk of having an accident.0
