car insurance quote

JackWatcham

hi, what is the best approach with the car insurance quote? I read in here that the sweet spot is around 21-23 days before the expiry of the current policy. Do I have to make a purchase on that day or can I keep it and pay later. In other words, if I make a payment let's say 5 days before the start would it keep the original price of the quote or would it re-run as a new one with the current date?

A quote is valid for X days, as long as you buy within X there is no issues but you have to make sure you retrieve the old quote and dont ask for new quotes.

Thanks, That actually makes sense, but I can't see any expiration date from comparison sites or even if I go to details of any single quote.

Would need to check each site etc but for example CompareTheMarket state their quotes are valid for 30 days (https://www.comparethemarket.com/car-insurance/content/how-long-is-my-insurance-quote-valid-for/)
