Buying car insurance is possibly one of the most boring and tedious of the household financial chores, but at the end of the day you need car insurance so you may as well try and get the best deal available.

Things to consider when you’re getting a quote include whether you’re going to take third party fire and theft or go for a comprehensive policy.

You’ll also need to think about the level of excess you’re willing to take on board should you have an accident and also any extras that might be thrown in such as breakdown cover and legal support.
