As winter is approaching, more than ever you need to ensure that your car is as safe as possible on the road, but this commercial car costs up. 

Instead of just dealing with the regular payment and insurance, you might end up dealing with the cost of additional car parts or tyres.

These are all things that you must consider in your budget, because while your car is going to eat a lot of your money, so can the petrol.

Understanding where you can save money on your car costs is going to help you to bring that budget down overall.

Here are some of the suggestions that we have to help you to do that.

• Choose the right car in the first place. If you are a family of seven, then owning a 7 seater car makes sense. If there are just three of you in your family, having a 7 seater car may not be the most economical option. If you are spending most of your time whizzing around the city for work and to live, you don’t really need an SUV. If you are climbing up into the mountains every weekend, then that gorgeous hatchback you love to drive isn’t really going to cut the mustard. Make sure that you know the kind of driver you are and what kind of driving you do the most and you’ll be able to find a car that suits you.
• Reduce your full fuel costs. There are plenty of articles written on how you can save money on your fuel, but some of the best ways you can reduce these costs even in a crisis where fuel costs are skyrocketing, is to keep your driving smooth, avoid idling, and be wise with your air con. If you are driving a manual vehicle, use the right gears so you can stay in an economical state. Always stay on top of your tire pressure as well because if you are on top of this, you are going to ensure that your car is running as smoothly as it can.
• Keep on top of maintaining your vehicle. One of the biggest costs for your car is going to be the maintenance costs and fixing things. A blown tyre for example, can put a huge dent in your finances. If you keep your car in good shape with proper servicing, you’ll be able to undertake the smaller maintenance tasks such as checking the oil and ensuring that your tires can be changed regularly.
• Get to know your car finance options. It can help to understand what your options are when it comes to car finance because then you can save money on your monthly costs. If you can, pay for your car finance yearly instead of monthly, but this may not be an option for everybody
