Elephant Insurance have been asking Mini drivers to compare their current insurance deals with what Elephant can offer.
The online insurer are making the suggestion because of the recent price reductions on the Mini, with new models enabling Elephant to re-band some of the popular cars, leading to potential savings of ten percent or more.
A couple of specific examples are the Mini One Sidewalk, which is now in group six compared with its previous group seven rating, and the Mini Cooper Sidewalk, now a group nine car rather than group ten.
The new Mini has been a highly successful seller since its launch, and these new classifications are sure to help it maintain its popularity, especially with younger drivers who appreciate the style of the Mini and can also appreciate the savings they can now make on their insurance premiums with Elephant.
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.
A new car insurance policy has been introduced by More Than, designed especially for female drivers.
As part of the promotion for it, More Than Insurance are including a number of rewards and discounts with big name high street retailers. They have also built in key options that are well suited to the needs of female drivers. These include prioritized roadside assistance, a replacement vehicle provided within 2 hours, female friendly garages and up to GBP3,000 of cover for handbags and their contents.
A More Than car insurance spokeswoman was pleased to be able to offer a service that catered for the specific needs of women drivers so well. They went on to add that even the roadside recovery agents used would be able to find the driver by tracking their mobile phone and would be equipped with child friendly vehicles that included things to entertain the children.
