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.

Drivers With Penalty Points Get Support From Swinton

The view of Swinton, the biggest insurance broker on the high street, is that drivers with six points plus on their licence will soon be the norm, categorised as standard. With the advent of the speed camera and the often scandalously low speeds at which they are set to trigger, Swinton feel it is not right to automatically penalise drivers because of these points. Bearing in mind the fact that approximately six million drivers have points on their licence, which is over ten percent of the whole population of the country, the approach from the insurer seems a very fair and sensible one. Swinton are taking the view that the driver with six points on their licence today is as safe as the one who had three points five years ago and no points ten years ago. We just hope other insurers follow suit.

Motor Insurance Should Cover Child Seats Says Supermarket

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.

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.
