Getting insurance quotes before you buy a car

Buying a new car is a real pleasure for many people, whether it is brand new or second hand. There are so many different makes and models of vehicles out there that it can be hard to know which one to choose. One very important point to consider before buying a car is how much it will cost to insure. Some sports cars are becoming very affordable now but when people come to insure it they often have a nasty shock.

There are many factors that insurance companies take in to account when providing you with a quote for your vehicle. The obvious one is the vehicle make and model but then there is also the age of the vehicle, mileage, what it will be used for and any modifications to the car. They will also look at any previous insurance claims and convictions you have along with your address and age. There is no point trying to guess how much your car insurance is likely to be. There are hundreds of companies out there that offer no obligation online quotes, so do your research first.
