Kwik Fit Insurance has taken steps to meet future legislation by investing in electronic car insurance certificate equipment.
The legislation to enable the delivery of electronic car insurance certificates is expected to arrive in 2009, making it easier to fulfil the needs of approximately 70 percent of Kwik Fit Insurance customers who buy their car insurance cover online. It also reduces costs, with less administration needed through the process.
There can be issues with electronic communication, especially regarding identity fraud, but Kwik Fit Insurance are investing in this new system to protect against such issues, which should be reassuring to customers and road users alike.
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.
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.
