If you are buying a second car, your no claims discount may only apply to your first car, but you may still get a lower car insurance quote if you have not made a claim previously and use that car insurance company for your first car.
If you were buying a new car you wouldn't buy the first car you see. Car insurance is no different you can save hundreds of pounds by shopping around.
If you are making a claim and have comprehensive coverage some companies try and settle the claim within 5-7 days. Why not see if your next car insurance policy has a statement online of how long a claim normally takes to complete.
