Disadvantages: none

Do you want to save a few pounds on motor insurance – or do you want to save a lot of money?

If, like me, you have spent hours searching for car insurance online you will know how frustrating it can be. Some of the bigger names seem to have almost identical forms to fill in, and at the end of a long, drawn out session come back with almost identical quotes!

I have spent over eight hours researching online car insurance, and it was one of the most frustrating experiences you could imagine – enough to put off any feint-hearted newcomer to the Internet, and send them packing down to their local insurance broker!

We have a 988cc Nissan Micra – insured for our 18 year-old son to drive. Our old insurance policy ceased when the insurance company was taken over, and “motor insurance did not form part of the new owner’s profile”. We were paying around £350 a year for TPFT, so you can imagine how shocked we were to have online quotes from some of the bigger names of nearer £1000 for the same cover.

Eventually, I came across insurancevillage.co.uk.

Insurance Village a friendly site, the home of a complete online insurance provider that acts as an independent intermediary for many insurance companies.

Their customer questionnaire is split up into a number of pages, making it a very simple process to complete.

Once completed, Insurance Village returns a wide range of quotes from a huge selection of well-known insurance companies.

There is no waiting for the postman, or for emails to arrive – this is an instant service.

The cheapest quote that Insurance Village returned was £470 less that the best “big name” quote that we had. Was this possible?

The same insurance company, by coincidence, was already insuring another car for us, so we were familiar with the name.

However, the price was so low we decided to click the &#
8220;Call Me” button so that we could check with an advisor.

The phone rang minutes later and our call was dealt with quickly and efficiently, confirming that the price quoted was correct. We were given the opportunity to buy, there and then, on the phone, but decided to complete the purchase online.

Within a few minutes we received a telephone call advising us that the insurance was in place and that the documents would be dispatched very soon.

They arrived next working day, complete with cover note and receipt. There was a stamped addressed envelope for the form we had to sign, and they asked for proof of our no claims bonus.

It was that simple, and that cheap.

If you want to save a lot of money on motor insurance, but do not have the patience to spend eight frustrating hours doing the research, I suggest you head straight to insurancevillage.co.uk – They make many other online insurers look very stupid, and very expensive!
