Tesco Finance has introduced a range of vehicle warranties to its list of products, with prices starting at less than GBP10 per month.
The new Tesco Finance car warranty products enable customers to protect against car repair bills and can be used on most cars up to 10 years old, with mileages of upto 100,000 miles. The warranties cover most main mechanical and electrical problems and comes in three variants – starting with Value, then Standard and on to the Tesco Finest option.
Customers can now rely on Tesco Finance for peace of mind in yet another area of financial management and with the cost of car repairs rising as they grow more sophisticated a vehicle warranty product makes a lot of sense.
According to Diamond Insurance, the women only car insurance company, teaching assistants from Perth in Scotland are the safest drivers in the country.
The insurer looked at their own information as well as more general industry details to determine the safest occupations statistically, with these Scottish teaching assistants topping the table. Female accountants and secretaries also fared well in the survey, whilst for men the safest drivers were those with a policing background, computer programming and engineering. A spokesperson from Diamond Insurance noted that it was reassuring to know that the people tasked with protecting us are also safe drivers.
On the other side of the coin, the female drivers most likely to have an accident were hairdressers, with their chances of making a claim almost twenty percent higher than anyone else. Diamond Insurance welcome enquiries from any industry, confident that they will provide a very competitive quote.
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.
