Car insurance is one of those adult things you begrudge paying for, but it’s an absolute essential. For some, it can be a huge chunk of money - particularly for newer drivers - and with the cost of living crisis looming, it’s just another stress to think about.
I’ve had my car for five years this April, a little Mitsubishi Colt I affectionately named Missy when I bought her as my first motor in 2017. It cost me £1,300, an extra arm and leg in warranty, and around £900 in insurance for my first year.
Slowly but surely, with no claims on my insurance, my renewal price has crept down year on year, costing me £572 in 2020, down to £509 in 2021.
