Car Insurance Brokers in Yorkshire and the Humber, England

Independent car insurance brokers can be useful resources for drivers who want to discuss their insurance options or who aren't comfortable buying a policy online. However, you might pay more to a broker—they may work only with a selection of insurance companies and may not be able to find the cheapest plan for you, plus they often charge an arrangement fee and/or higher cancellation fees. When you talk with a broker be sure to ask about these fees and which brands they work with.

Methodology

To determine average car insurance costs for cities in Yorkshire and the Humber, we gathered hundreds of quotes for a sample driver. The sample driver is aged 35 years old and drives a 5-year-old Ford Fiesta. Unless otherwise noted, the driver has a good driving record with no history of accidents and 5 years of no claims bonus.

To compare prices across the region, we gathered quotes for 50 East Midlands post codes, covering local areas in Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Wakefield, York, Kirklees, Lincolnshire, Doncaster, Barnsley, Kingston upon Hull, Rotherham, etc. This allowed us to compare typical car insurance quotes across different local areas. We priced policies from over two dozen companies, including but not limited to:

  • Admiral
  • Churchill
  • LV
  • More Than
  • Elephant
  • RAC
  • esure
  • People's Choice
  • Sainsbury's Bank
  • Tesco Bank

Be aware that some brands don't offer cover in certain neighbourhoods—e.g., where they have an experience of higher claims.

To determine rates of vehicle crime and car accidents in Yorkshire and the Humber, we analysed data from the Department for Transport and UK Crime Stats.
