Thanks so much! Here's a breakdown: - Clear your search history and cookies every time you look for insurance. On price comparison sites as well. - Adding another driver who’s more experienced (you must be the main driver, don’t lie) - Get a dash cam - Try different job titles (don’t lie) to see if that changes things - Add another driver - Use multiple comparison sites - Start your policy later if it saves you money - Set your excess higher - Keep mileage low (don’t lie) - Consider a lease (includes of the insurance) - Create a new email address for the quote (when you’re ready to buy) - Pass Plus doesn’t work anymore - Look for cars in low insurance groups (1 is the lowest): Fiat Panda, Ford KA, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Nissan Micra, SEAT ME, Skoda Fabia, Smart 44, VW Polo, VW Up, VW Fox, Citron C1, C2… etc. - Install it with an immobiliser or alarm (Thatcham) - Ask about discounts - Join a group about driving safety - Pay annually

Absolute legend! Yh now that I have passed my test, insurance has sky rocketed! It's honestly crazy! Btw had my first solo drive today and it went really well - commentary as always! Felt weird being alone in the car but it was amazing! Thanks for the amazing content Francis, please keep it up! 😊

Here’s a weird tip. I was being quoted £250pm for my first car insurance. On the same quote, I added breakdown cover and the price went down to £189pm!

As much as we want cheap insurance make sure you are getting the same value for money. So some will be just the insurance where others will have added things included like break down cover insurance protection higher legal advice cover . It will then safe you having to buy these separately if you wish and may work out cheaper than buying separately

The issue is people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt. Ideally, advisors are reps for investing jobs, and at first-hand encounter, my portfolio has yielded over 300% since 2020 just after the pandemic to date.

Tip 2 from Emma, naming an experienced driver as main driver and you as 2nd driver is problematic. If you are the main driver then you are "fronting" this is fraud and will invalidate your insurance AND you will lose your premiums if you need a claim (which will be declined and policy avoided), this will have a knock on effect on any future policies you need also.

Thanks for your video. Clearing your cookies will not make any difference specially when you use your email address and getting quotes using that account again. Because, your account is in their database and they easily can tell when you search. Even if you change your email address but using the same car reg and your DOB etc, they still know.

got my first car like 2 years ago 1.6 toyota auris (manual) 14plate im the only driver on the policy , first year was 198 second year 132 pounds a month third party East London 3k miles a year and i'm 23 also no black box or any of that crap, did wait 2 weeks for my policy to start, first year is always a bit more expensibe but usually it goes down by 20-35% at the start of your second year, also what car you buy matters not just the insurance group number

I did a just add fuel with Peugeot when I was 18 and it was SO worth it! Don’t think they do it anymore but I think Vauxhall do something very similar! Having my dad on my insurance brought mine down a lot because he drives for a living even with me as the main driver. I would also personally not scrimp on certain things such as protecting your no claims bonus, I got his by a driver with no tax and no insurance and it saved me SO much and it has decreased my insurance over time! As annoying as it is, there is just not much you can do about the insurance rates at the moment, I rang my insurance company to ask why my insurance quote had gone up by £300 even with an extra year no claims and they told me there’s too many people in my area who are uninsured which seems unfair because I actually do pay for mine😅 I did get NHS discount though which they don’t offer on the app!
