With car insurance premiums being forced up across the board following an increase in false claims during the recession Rescue My Car is urging people to think about buying breakdown cover with their car insurance to save money.

According to industry figures the cost of car insurance is up 5.6% in just three months – the biggest increase for 15 years – as the UK sees a rise in claims.

Our job here at RMC is to provide you with the quality cover you expect for less than you would expect to pay and as a result we have been looking for way to create more cost effective alternatives for you.

One way we can do that is by combing our car insurance and breakdown cover packages together as you can then enjoy a considerable discount over buying such policies separately.

Of course our advice doesn’t end there as there are a host of other way in which you can help keep your breakdown and insurance costs down and they include looking at taking out limited mileage insurance policies. These end up being cheaper as you spend less time on the road and are therefore less likely to have an accident.

It can also make sense to take the advanced driving test, or Pass Plus if you are just learning to drive as this is seen as a sign of greater competence by insurance companies looking to minimise risk.

Higher excesses, keeping your car in the garage and paying annually for breakdown cover or car insurance can also save you money as you look to weather the recession.
