The Mini is loved all over the world and is a classic icon for British motoring. If you are the proud owner of a Mini, you may have trouble finding car insurance for your mini, especially if you are young or own a Mini Cooper. There are so many variations for the little Mini, it is often difficult to get coverage. A Mini Cooper S or a limited edition 1959 classic are two models for which coverage is difficult to find.

The best way to get a tailor-made car insurance policy is to contact companies online that find and compare quotes from the top insurance companies. They will access over 100 companies to find you exactly the coverage you need at a price you can afford. You can give your individual specifications and get a policy that covers your Mini whether it is a classic or the latest Mini Cooper S with an added JCW pack and other performance modifications.

There are several tips you can consider to help you save money on your policy:

• Safety measures can lower car insurance cost. If you have an approved immobilizer and alarm system and if you park you Mini in a safe place at night, you can reduce your insurance premium
• The higher you can afford to set your excess in the case of a claim, the lower your premiums will be
• Driving less number of miles in a year will reduce the cost of your mini car insurance
• Make sure your policy only covers what you need. Add-ons will raise the cost of the premium, so select your add-ons carefully
• When it is time to renew your car insurance, look online for cheaper options

Comprehensive Mini car insurance coverage includes damage to your car as well as damage or injury you may cause to another car or person. Some common options or add-ons are:

• Coverage while driving a car not owned or hired by you
• Coverage for the car contents including personal belongings in your locked car or in a locked roof box or trailer. Personal computer, jewellery, mobile phone, GPS equipment and watches are not covered unless they are in a locked glove compartment, boot or roof box. Money, securities and business samples are excluded
• Coverage for foreign travel
• Coverage for personal accident except in the case of suicide or intentional self injury, under the influence of alcohol or drugs or failure to wear a seat belt
• Coverage for a roof box and trailer unless it is overloaded or unsuitable for being pulled by your Mini
• Coverage for car hire if your car is damaged beyond repair or while it is being repaired
• Coverage for any legal action needed because of an accident that is not your fault

When you look at a list of options, you should choose the ones that are the best suited to your driving circumstances. Before you agree to buy a policy, make sure you understand exactly what is covered and what your excess will be in each situation. Excess may differ for a damaged vehicle, windows only damage or for damage when you are driving abroad.

If you have a classic Mini, you may want to consider agreed valuation insurance. These valuations are usually made by a classic car expert. This policy can last up to three years and will be based on the agreed valuation of your classic car. You will need to give documentation concerning the maintenance of your car. This will include current color photographs of the exterior and interior of the vehicle and of the engine bay. You may also be asked for copies of any bills for substantial work that has been done on the vehicle in the last three years.

The Mini has become a fashion statement with its diminutive size and great fuel consumption. This, combined with its small engine, mean that you can get very low cost car insurance for your Mini if you take the time to search and compare quotes.
