If you’ve just bought a vehicle, you might be shopping around for car insurance. With many cover options available, it’s sometimes difficult to choose what kind of protection you need. Did you know that the age of your car and the way you use it can affect your premium? If you’re not sure where to start, read our guide which may assist you in determining what car insurance might work for you.
