Motorists planning to drive in the Republic of Ireland are being advised by the AA to check their car insurance policies.
It is often the case that motor vehicle insurance provides cover at a lower level outside the UK than in it, though many people do not think of Ireland as being outside the United Kingdom. Motorists will usually have third party cover say the AA, rather than fully comprehensive though insurers do differ in their protection so a call is advised prior to travel.
Also important when driving in a different country is the need for breakdown cover. Again some providers will provide it whilst some will not, it is down to the individual company. AA car insurance and breakdown cover does include these overseas options and can be bought at highly competitive prices, get a quote on Moneygossip and check out the best deals available.
A study carried out by esure car insurance has found that younger drivers are more likely to buy an environmentally friendly car than older drivers.
Over 80 percent of drivers under 25 would consider using a hybrid, electric or bio fuel car according to the esure survey results, reflecting their attitude to the future of the planet or perhaps their concern at the rising cost of fuel. In fact 20 percent of all drivers said they would think about moving to a more fuel efficient vehicle to save money.
The hybrid and electric cars are certainly cheaper to run than existing petrol models, though initial purchase cost is high. Car insurance premiums are also relatively high due to the cost of any repairs that may be needed. Being new and innovative means parts cost much more than regular models.
New car insurance customers at Tesco Finance are able to claim a free pressure washer if they buy their policy before 25 June 2008.
Upon buying the car insurance policy Tesco Finance will provide the customer with a voucher that can be redeemed at Tesco Direct for a Karcher pressure washer. New car insurance customers can also enjoy discounts of up to 15 percent when buying online.
A Tesco Finance spokesman was delighted to be able to offer such a great incentive and hoped that many people considering their current car insurance cover would look at Tesco since they offer very competitive rates as well as great promotional offers such as this.
