Is it permissible to purchase car insurance in installments ?

Fatawa Question

Is it permissible to purchase car insurance in installments due to necessity when one cannot afford a one off payment. installments also have an added interest charge per month. For example : a one off payment will cost 1000 pounds and in 12 installments it’ll cost 1200 pounds. As insurance contains elements of interest could this be considered to be an extension of that interest which could be deemed permissible out of necessity. There is also another possibility I have come across on a website : http://www.moneysupermarket.com/c/news/the-best-way-to-pay-for-car-insurance/0013195/ Would it be permissible to opt for this option.
