The RAC are trying to get the message across that as well as buying travel insurance prior to a holiday so car insurance should not be overlooked.
As more Britons travel into Europe and beyond in their cars and on their bikes, so the need for adequate insurance has never been greater. If an accident does occur then car insurance, from the RAC or another provider, will ensure there are people on the end of the phone who are trained to deal with situations. Where there are potential language difficulties then these experts are all the more valuable.
There can also be significant costs involved with accidents abroad, so once again adequate car insurance, like the RAC recommends, is a must. The RAC are best known for their recovery services, and the fact that their European Recovery operation saw a ten percent increase in demand last year underlines the need for sufficient protection when abroad.
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.

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.
