Moneysupermarket.com has named Kwik-Fit and Swiftcover as its most consistently competitive motor insurers.

The price comparison website analysed 12 million quotes and found that the two companies regularly offered the most competitive premiums, averaging out at just under £277 across all drivers.

The research also named Endsleigh as sixth most competitive provider, rising from 47th place a year earlier.

Moneysupermarket’s head of insurance research, Peter Gerrard, is reminding motorists that insurers frequently offer a discount on the take-up of a policy, in the hope that they will retain the customer at renewal.

He strongly recommends shopping around before accepting a renewal premium but adds that while cost is a major factor, motorists should make sure they buy insurance that best suits their needs, checking out the policy small print before switching their provider.
