Are you giving yourself enough time to shop around?
July 3, 2009
At renewal time it's easy to put off shopping around for the best car insurance price until the last minute, as it's not something you think about everyday. This may leave you in a mad dash to renew with your current company, instead of giving you time to properly compare car insurance rates.
You’re not alone
In the first four months of 2009, 46 per cent of getinsurancequote.ca visitors were car insurance shopping the same month their current policy expired. This begs the question; are you giving yourself enough time to shop around for your car insurance?
The getinsurancequotes.ca survey of visitors showed that:
- 46% of people were shopping for car insurance the month their policy expired
- 30% the month before it expired
- 15% two months in advance of their expiry date, and
- 7% shopped more than 3 months before their policy was up for renewal.
Clearly, not everyone thinks about their insurance ahead of expiry. For those leaving it until the last minute, they have less time to compare services and prices between companies which may result in paying unnecessarily high car insurance rates.
