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.
More Than Insurance has confirmed what most parents already knew, that they show less patience than their children on car journeys over the summer.
Data gathered from the survey found about 10 percent of parents feeling the first signs of impatience and irritation in the first 10 minutes of a journey. More Than Insurance also found the average time parents can manage before they want the journey to end is just 24 minutes. Children on the other hand managed a full 90 minutes before feeling they needed to get out. Children do have the benefit of MP3 players, books and games in the car that greatly helps on the journey.
From a car insurance perspective it is important for parents to remain calm so as to retain full control of the vehicle and maintain their levels of alertness toward other road users. More Than Insurance hope this recent survey will highlight this need for parents, leading to safer and more relaxed journeys.
Drivers who omit to mention previous drink driving convictions could well find their car insurance is invalid should a claim be made say Norwich Union.
A Norwich Union representative understood that a conviction for drink driving would increase a drivers car insurance premium considerably but by choosing not to declare it at all would cost much more when the cover was deemed invalid. Such a conviction would certainly come to light when a claim was made so it is in the drivers interests to declare it upon buying the insurance cover.
Should a person be found not to have declared something such as this and then had their cover terminated this information would be held on a central car insurance database explained Norwich Union, which would increase the premium still further.
