Martin Lewis' MSE issues car insurance warning as there is one thing you should 'never' do

Drivers have been issued a warning as they should "never" allow their car insurance to auto-renew. It comes as rates could skyrocket by as much as 20 per cent, according to experts.
However, motorists can save "hundreds" by opting for free online comparison tools before renewing. This advice was shared in MoneySavingExpert's most recent newsletter.

And if a customer feels a contract is being breached they should raise an official complaint should the insurer be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
This comes after motorists were issued a separate warning by the RAC as millions were not only failing their MOTs, but were also having their vehicles deemed "dangerous". Breaks and tyres faults accounted for around 2.1million MOT failures in the 12 months leading up to March 2022.
