While insurance rates are not really known for fluctuating too much, the third quarter of 2012 has brought about a fall in UK car insurance rates - the first of the year, following six months of everything being flat and level. Now, the average cost of insurance, when bought directly from an insurer, has fallen by 2.9%.
This means that the insurance costs £870, on average, while the price of buying from a specialized site, with the possibility to compare, has also dropped by 1%, to £612, according to the AA. However, prices still remain 6% higher than those recorded last year, when it comes to taking out a policy directly from an insurer.
