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.
New car insurance customers at Tesco Finance are able to claim a free pressure washer if they buy their policy before 25 June 2008.
Upon buying the car insurance policy Tesco Finance will provide the customer with a voucher that can be redeemed at Tesco Direct for a Karcher pressure washer. New car insurance customers can also enjoy discounts of up to 15 percent when buying online.
A Tesco Finance spokesman was delighted to be able to offer such a great incentive and hoped that many people considering their current car insurance cover would look at Tesco since they offer very competitive rates as well as great promotional offers such as this.
Being caught using a mobile whilst in the car is going to prove even more costly as insurers will increase premiums for those charged says AA Insurance.
Having checked the situation with 8 different insurance companies across the market AA Insurance found that premiums could cost between 4 and 18 percent more because of a mobile phone offence. This can easily add GBP40 or more to the average annual premium.
A spokesman from AA Insurance explained that using a hand held mobile phone whilst driving means reduced vehicle control, slower reaction times and a heightened risk of an accident. Therefore premiums are naturally going to be more as the risk is greater.
