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.
After a study of the data gained through the Tesco car insurance comparison site it has been found that car choice is determined a lot by the age of the driver.
The typical Jaguar driver, for example, is 47 years old, whilst if it is a Mercedes then they will be, on average, 43. Moving down a little on the age groups, Volvo drivers tend to be around 42 whilst Porsche drivers, specifically of the 911, Boxster and Cayenne will be around 40 years old.
These marques are only a small sample from the full list, but one thing that is immediately apparent is that, with the average value of these cars higher than the general runabout drivers may well need to be 40 plus in order to get car insurance cover at a reasonable premium, from Tesco Finance or anyone else.
The quarterly AA Insurance review of car insurance premiums has found that costs are on the rise again, with the average fully comprehensive policy now costing GBP700.
There has been an increase of over GBP20 compared with the previous quarter said AA Insurance and it is young driver car insurance that has seen the biggest increase, up by more than twice the overall average – GBP45. Along with all the other price rises consumers are seeing this latest one just reiterates how the cost of living is spiralling ever higher.
The best advice upon seeing these results is to shop around said AA Insurance. Look at different car insurance providers, having an increased voluntary excess or removing some of the features that are not needed. Following some of these steps may help keep that motor insurance bill down and save money.
