The people at Tesco Finance feel that the best car insurance for a family should include cover for child seats and other family safety fitments.
Tesco considered this situation as part of their support for Child Safety Week and as they offer car insurance they felt it right to discuss this particular matter. Everyone knows how important it is to ensure all appropriate safety measures are taken so it should be an integral part of any car insurance policy that cover is provided for child seats, booster seats and so on.
It is quite easy to check many car insurance terms at once through comparison services, where Tesco car insurance will be listed alongside other providers. This gives the facility to assess different options and find the most suitable blend of price and features.
More Than Insurance has confirmed what most parents already knew, that they show less patience than their children on car journeys over the summer.
Data gathered from the survey found about 10 percent of parents feeling the first signs of impatience and irritation in the first 10 minutes of a journey. More Than Insurance also found the average time parents can manage before they want the journey to end is just 24 minutes. Children on the other hand managed a full 90 minutes before feeling they needed to get out. Children do have the benefit of MP3 players, books and games in the car that greatly helps on the journey.
From a car insurance perspective it is important for parents to remain calm so as to retain full control of the vehicle and maintain their levels of alertness toward other road users. More Than Insurance hope this recent survey will highlight this need for parents, leading to safer and more relaxed journeys.
Admiral car insurance has warned car drivers that they could see their premiums 5 percent higher by the end of this year.
In the first half of the year insurance premiums have risen by around 2.5 percent according to data collated by Admiral, with a similar level of increase expected in the second half of the year. On the back of all the other price rises that are hitting consumers there appears to be no escape from rising costs.
What seems to be happening is that the cost of car insurance is going up even though the number of claims is relatively unchanged. Admiral suggest that it may be the increasing cost of repairs that is forcing premiums up.
