Auto renewing your car insurance should be avoided says Gocompare.com

Published: 4/9/2012

A spokes person from Gocompare.com has talked about the importance of not auto renewing their car insurance policy. Motorists should not allow motor insurers to auto renew their car insurance when their annual term finishes, as most renewal prices are much higher than last year’s price and often less competitive than other insurers.

Motorists should not let insurance companies renew their premium automatically without checking prices from other insurers first, as there are potentially cheaper deals out there.

Motorists need to be proactive when it comes to their car insurance renewal period. You can often find a cheaper car insurance deal if you are prepared to search around and get other quotes from other insurers.

Incentives Best For Drivers Says Tesco Finance

Instead of punishments for not going green the government should use incentives instead says Tesco Finance. Research carried out shows that around 2 million people already drive an eco friendly vehicle but that is dwarfed by the 21 million who would seriously consider such an option if it was made easier to do so. Tesco Finance found that the cost of buying such a vehicle was prohibitive to many. The Tesco Finance study also found that those aged 55 and over are the most likely to have gone eco friendly, with 8 percent having a green car. This contrasts with the 34 and under age group where those with an ecologically friendly car is just 4 percent. A Tesco representative saw the research as proof that the nation is happy to embrace green transport as long as it is financially possible for them.

Car Theft Study

Car insurance company Admiral have been looking at car theft and what is taken, with some surprising results. The most common items that are taken from vehicles, not including stereo systems, are individual CDs, satellite navigation systems and MP3 players. After these come jackets, mobiles and laptop computers. Perhaps a little more surprising though are some other items that Admiral found car thieves have taken, including disco lights, celery, sandwiches and a wet suit! Admiral also worked out the typical value of items in the average family car, coming up with a figure of GBP2,800 per vehicle. With such a sum of items that can be taken it is important to ensure car insurance covers these different areas to make sure the value of goods taken is covered as well as the car itself.
