Sainsbury's Bank is offering 10 per cent off car insurance to customers who buy their policy online.
The bank has estimated the annual cost of running a car has soared by around 13.55 per cent compared to last year, and it has increased 16.2 per cent since 2006.
So Sainsbury's is now offering its reduced rate premium along with a free guide on how to reduce the costs of driving, in a bid to help drive down expenses for consumers.
Joanne Mallon, Sainsbury's car insurance manager, highlighted the importance of shopping around for insurance.
"The cost of fuel has started to drop earlier this summer but rising oil prices now look set to push it higher than ever," she said.
"Road taxes too have increased, making motoring a very expensive business. Those costs, though, can be kept better in check by shopping around for car insurance and fuel for example."
Sainsbury's also suggested consumers tried car leasing schemes as a way of reducing upfront costs. And it revealed research had shown that haggling on the price of a new car could save customers around £1,500.
