Buying Car Insurance on the phone checklist!

When buying Car Insurance over the telephone it can sometimes be a bit of a nightmare, especially if you don’t have everything to hand and that can include the car insurance telephone numbers.

I don’t know about you, but I when I buy car insurance I always keep all the documents in one file so when I go to purchase insurance for my car I have to sift through piles of information before I find what I need.
The amazing thing is  that the insurance company always asks me a question for the information I don’t I have.
This year everything has changed I have had a spring clean and sorted through the piles of small print policy documents and schedules and made a short list of most (you never can be sure) of the information I am going to need to make the call and hopefully with all the correct information will be able to save myself money.

My contact details
How long I have been driving
My personal details age occupation
What I use my car for social, work etc
Car details
Make and model
Age
Vehicle registration number
Current mileage
How many miles I do in a year
Date of Purchase
Value of vehicle
Modifications
Alarm
Where I park my car overnight?
Drivers and their details
Present cover
Present excesses
How much I paid last year
What type of policy do I have at the moment do I want the same cover again
Is this the correct cover for my needs?
Renewal date – When should the policy start ?

Now that you’ve got all the information to hand why not give your friendly car insurance broker a call free on 0800 089 0182 and save a lot of time filling in forms and hopefully a lot of money too!
