Don’t confuse price with value

Despite popular belief not all car insurance policies are the same and not all insurers are the same. You never know how good the insurer is until you need claim however you can reduce this risk by choosing an insurer registered with the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.

A number of motor insurers operating on comparison websites are registered overseas in places like Malta and Gibraltar. This means in the event of a claim you do not have the same level of protection as an insurer registered with the FCA in the UK.

At Executive Home Cover we offer motor policies designed especially for our high net worth clients.

Family Fleet insurance

High value performance car insurance

Make sure the cover is bespoke to your needs

You can reduce the cost of your motor insurance by looking as aspects such as

the amount of excess you are prepared to pay,
your annual mileage
the value of the car
the drivers insured
the use of the car

Check all these with your insurer at each renewal and ask if there are any changes you can make to reduce the premium payable.

Is Your No Claims Bonus Protected?

Consider protecting your no claims bonus. If you are unfortunate enough to make a claim this will help keep any increase at next renewal to a minimum and keep your maximum no claims bonus intact.

Multicar Policy

Consider a multicar or family fleet policy particularly if you have more cars than drivers. Find out more here.

Watch the Direct Debit Charges

Some insurers can charge up to 15% to pay your premium by monthly direct debit. Make sure you take into account any direct debit charge when calculating the total cost.
