We're all looking for a bargain. Whether we're buying a new outfit, groceries at the store or car insurance, getting the best deal is important. Whilst you might look for special offers and sales when buying goods, insurance is a little different.

When you're shopping for car insurance you are almost certainly going to have to go online. This is where most major firms have their primary presence, in fact in some cases it might be the only place to find them. As a result you've got great scope for browsing what they have to offer and where the best value can be found.

So the first lesson for anybody who is looking to reduce their car insurance premiums is to fire up the Internet and do a little research. Whilst a broker will provide you with their best offer, a price comparison service is ideal for bringing all these quotes together. So rather than visiting each individual insurer's website, you just need to enter your details once and let them do the leg work for you.

This will give you an indication of price, but it won't necessarily provide your final answer. There is still more that you can do to lower those costs.

First of all, armed with your best quote (so far), you can go and try a variety of other sites and see if you can lower this further. Remember that not all insurers will appear on these comparison services, so there is plenty of scope to find a company able to give you an even better price. Diligence can be rewarded with pounds saved at the end of your search.

During your research you might also want to consider the level of cover you're buying. Whilst you might have your heart set on a fully comprehensive policy, this added cover will cost you money. So why not see the comparative for both third party and third party, fire and theft insurance would be.

Of course you don't want to end up with insurance that isn't practical for your needs, but it's important that you take the time to understand what's on offer and what you actually require. For instance, if you're driving a car that is valued at less than a thousand pounds, having a comprehensive policy might not be worth the extra premiums. After all, the amount you're paying will be difficult to recoup - even in the event of a total write-off - due to the low value of the car.

Third party car insurance is also ideal for younger drivers who are struggling to pay the heightened fees caused by their relative inexperience and age. More often than not they will also have vehicles of a lower value too, therefore making the basic third party cover enough for their needs - at least ensuring that they are road legal.

Seemingly insignificant issues like predicted mileage, housing the vehicle in a garage overnight and your excess (the amount you are liable for in the event of a claim) can also have a huge impact. So when you're working out your mileage, make sure you're as accurate as possible. If you have access to a garage, make sure you use it. And be sure to choose a sensible excess - whilst you might save more now, it could cost you a lot more in the future.

You have to be honest and open when applying for car insurance, otherwise you may get a nasty surprise should you ever need to make a claim. If your details are found to be inaccurate your policy may be invalidated and you could end up further out of pocket as a result.

So when you're hunting for a bargain, don't try to cut too many corners. Work out what you can afford, where offers the best value for your needs and choose accordingly. Happy hunting.
