A study carried out by esure car insurance has found that younger drivers are more likely to buy an environmentally friendly car than older drivers.
Over 80 percent of drivers under 25 would consider using a hybrid, electric or bio fuel car according to the esure survey results, reflecting their attitude to the future of the planet or perhaps their concern at the rising cost of fuel. In fact 20 percent of all drivers said they would think about moving to a more fuel efficient vehicle to save money.
The hybrid and electric cars are certainly cheaper to run than existing petrol models, though initial purchase cost is high. Car insurance premiums are also relatively high due to the cost of any repairs that may be needed. Being new and innovative means parts cost much more than regular models.
2 years after launching women only car insurance Sheilas Wheels are now one of the best recognised insurance companies around.
To celebrate this status Sheilas Wheels have been looking at how women shop for car insurance, finding that they actually spend more time choosing their outfit for the Christmas party than they do getting car insurance.
It appears that the average woman takes just over 2 hours searching for and then buying car insurance, no doubt helped by easy to use sites like the one at Sheilas Wheels of course. Another factor is that personal recommendations are very important to women, which can also make the whole process of getting car insurance faster.
Now when it comes to buying Christmas party outfits that is a whole different matter.
Motorists planning to drive in the Republic of Ireland are being advised by the AA to check their car insurance policies.
It is often the case that motor vehicle insurance provides cover at a lower level outside the UK than in it, though many people do not think of Ireland as being outside the United Kingdom. Motorists will usually have third party cover say the AA, rather than fully comprehensive though insurers do differ in their protection so a call is advised prior to travel.
Also important when driving in a different country is the need for breakdown cover. Again some providers will provide it whilst some will not, it is down to the individual company. AA car insurance and breakdown cover does include these overseas options and can be bought at highly competitive prices, get a quote on Moneygossip and check out the best deals available.
