2 years after launching women only car insurance Sheilas Wheels are now one of the best recognised insurance companies around.
To celebrate this status Sheilas Wheels have been looking at how women shop for car insurance, finding that they actually spend more time choosing their outfit for the Christmas party than they do getting car insurance.
It appears that the average woman takes just over 2 hours searching for and then buying car insurance, no doubt helped by easy to use sites like the one at Sheilas Wheels of course. Another factor is that personal recommendations are very important to women, which can also make the whole process of getting car insurance faster.
Now when it comes to buying Christmas party outfits that is a whole different matter.
A new report from Green Flag shows that we are spending more time than ever before simply waiting – be it in a traffic jam, in a shop queue or for a delivery.
The report reveals we spend around six months of our life just waiting! It seems over a third of the people asked spend over and hour a week waiting in queues at shops and supermarkets. Add in waiting at service organisations, especially banks, and that figure rises to almost two hours.
We are all familiar with waiting in traffic, from the school run delays in the morning, through shopping traffic and the often disrupted motorway journeys. These can be infuriating but Green flag do advocate a policy of not getting stressed to avoid ill health and accidents.
A traffic queue can sometime lead people to drive more aggressively to get out of it, or into a space, but the upshot of that is they may then have to make a claim on their car insurance, which will cost them far more than the time they spent waiting.
Tesco Finance has introduced a range of vehicle warranties to its list of products, with prices starting at less than GBP10 per month.
The new Tesco Finance car warranty products enable customers to protect against car repair bills and can be used on most cars up to 10 years old, with mileages of upto 100,000 miles. The warranties cover most main mechanical and electrical problems and comes in three variants – starting with Value, then Standard and on to the Tesco Finest option.
Customers can now rely on Tesco Finance for peace of mind in yet another area of financial management and with the cost of car repairs rising as they grow more sophisticated a vehicle warranty product makes a lot of sense.
