Shop around for specialist car cover

Finding specialist motor insurance for classic and convertible cars used to involve enlisting the help of a broker. Motor insurance for women also used to be difficult to track down, with only a few niche providers offering cover.

The int
ernet has changed all that, with increasing numbers of motor insurers now offering cover tailored to meet every requirement, making it much easier to hunt down competitive motor quotes for all sorts of different circumstances.

Drivers of classic cars can track down insurance information and quotes online using Beat That Quote to find the best deals for their wheels from providers such as Adrian Flux and Lancaster Insurance. Several insurers also now offer online quotes specifically for women drivers, including Sheila?s Wheels, Diamond and Ladybird insurance. All these companies claim that they are able to offer women drivers more competitive deals due to the fact that, statistically, they tend to be safer drivers than men.

It?s not just women and drivers of classic motors who are now being catered for online. Younger drivers can also find specialist cover. Many insurers charge much higher premiums to those who are inexperienced motorists so opting for a compa
ny which specialises in this kind of market can be a sensible option. Endsleigh - perhaps most well know for providing contents cover for students - offers car insurance for young motorists, including learner drivers, new drivers and even 17-year-old drivers. It also provides cover for van drivers and women motorists.

Insurance for larger vehicles such as 4x4s, is again much easier to source. Rural insurer NFU Mutual offers car insurance specifically designed for people who do most of their driving in the country in 4x4 vehicles. The insurer also offers caravan insurance.

Having a conviction for a driving offence can have a significant impact on the cost of motor cover, but again, help is available if you know where to look. Keith Michaels, for example, offers convicted driver insurance without cutting back on the level of cover, and will treat motoring convictions more sympathetically than providers that don?t specialist in this sort of cover.

No matter what your age, what type of car you drive, or what sex you are, the best way to save money on motor insurance is to shop around. Using Beat That Quote means you can view lots of different policies online to help you find the best deals.

"Remember when you are comparing policies to check the cover limits and decide whether you want fully comprehensive, third party fire and theft or just third party cover," warned Sophie Neary, Beat That Quote?s product director.

"Bear in mind also that while specialist cover can be expensive, some insurers allow you to choose a higher voluntary excess - the part of any insurance claim which you pay yourself - which can reduce the cost of your premiums."
