Car Insurance Timings
Hi everyone.
Just a note to share recent experiences with car insurance renewal timing and costs.
Insurance on Tesla Model Y was due for renewal 12/9/24.
I started looking via MSE tool a few weeks back, I was way too early, but I’m glad I did. Here’s the prices and dates from each time I checked.
In the end, I was able to get the best price on the first quote above delayed to start on 28 August, so I renewed early. It was slightly higher than above when modified, but still a saving of over £300.

Did you renew with your current insurer or buy a different policy?
Are you now insured with two different companies from 28/8 until 12/9 ?
If so, then having a claim in that period could get very complicated.0 -

Are the figures all from one company?
Or is it just the lowest shown on comparison site?Life in the slow lane0 -
Another top tip from Martin is to change your job title (within reason) and the quotes may change in price. I just completed my 2024 car insurance and changed my title from Administrator to Data Administrator, which much of my job includes, and saved £45!0
