The best, but slightly tedious way of doing this is with the requirements in hand you can list down every cover that you need and fax or email the document to all the insurers that you have requested quotes from. The tiresome part is that most of the insurers will not have an exact product that will fit your requirements so often you will need to spend time on the phone trying to explain your situation and rejecting “about there” offers.

One thing to look out for is that because an insurance company can offer you the best quote for the insurance coverage that you need does not mean that you should immediately take up that offer. You have to look at the insurance company first and determine their credibility when it comes to paying out claims. Look for awards and certification of excellence and also the all important pay-out ratio. Always be sure that your insurance company will pay you in the event of the claim.

In conclusion, most of us go about looking for car insurance the wrong way, looking for the best deals instead of looking at what cover you actually need before looking for deals. Follow the above methodology and you will be rewarded with coverage that is suitable to you and also products that are still reasonably priced.
