Example: £400 in the bank minus £250 of upcoming bills leaves £150. Over three weeks that is £50 a week, which may still need to cover essentials. Check what your money must cover first.

A low premium is only part of the picture. Check the total excess and whether you could afford it if you needed to claim. Different claims can have different excesses.
