As a driver you'll know that car insurance is a legal requirement, unless you've got permission from the DVLA to keep your vehicle off the road and uninsured. For this you'll need a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN), which involves surrendering your tax disc - and you'll have to reapply if you want to drive the car again. So it's not a quick and easy dip-in-and-out option.
So given that car insurance is a legal must-have (and a common sense purchase as well) you'll want to make sure you pick the right car insurance policy from the types that are available, and get the most competitive deal. Along the way, you'll probably have some questions that need answering.
Fortunately, there is a wealth of car insurance information on MoneySupermarket to help guide you towards the best policy for you.
