Online computer-generated quotes can be quick and convenient but they can also be very costly — if you’ve received an excessive motor insurance quote, you should think about consulting a trained insurance broker.
According to experts at Adrian Flux, one of the country’s largest independent insurance intermediaries, getting properly underwritten by an experienced broker will almost certainly reduce the cost of your motor insurance quote.
A phone call will almost always save you money
Unlike a computer, which has a fixed script of questions and churns out a standard quote depending on your answers, if you actually make a call to a broker it can help you save money. Your car and your driving experience will be taken into consideration to tailor an exclusive motor insurance quote to meet your precise needs.
Whatever level of cover you need, fully comprehensive, third party, fire and theft, or third party only, each risk is individually calculated in order to find the best deal for you.
Adrian Flux has a panel of more than 40 insurance providers to consult and find you the best deal.
And that deal will almost certainly be cheaper over the phone by talking person-to-person with an underwriter — 79.4% of customers receiving an online quote in September 2018 could have obtained a cheaper motor insurance quote if they had called (based on the information they provided).

We use common sense to construct a sensible motor insurance quote
Adrian Flux general manager Gerry Bucke said: “It’s not unusual for computer rates to churn out premiums that could make your eyes water.
“Yes, the computer-generated quote is quick and convenient but there is no flexibility. They cannot use common sense or consider an insurance client’s circumstances to construct a sensible quote.
“When you’re talking big premiums, those over £2,000, it’s best not to let the computer do the talking. Instead, get an experienced underwriter to evaluate the true risk posed by you and your vehicle and come up with a sensible motor insurance quote..
“If you do, you won’t be sorry. A skilled underwriter will almost always save you money on your insurance premium.”
