Research from AA Insurance has found that around 22 percent of people in the UK are intending to take a holiday in Britain this year in order to cut down their costs of travel.
It appears that the rising costs in all aspects of travel are making people think about alternatives to try and reduce their expenditure. This has also driven more people to look at smaller vehicles to save money that way. There can also be insurance benefits in this, as well as better fuel economy said an AA Insurance representative.
As with all things the key is to find something that is suitable, so making sure there is enough room for people, that the engine can deliver the performance needed for regular long journeys and so on. AA Insurance see claims for all sorts of issues relating to unsuitable vehicles, so ensuring it is fit for the job it will have to do is paramount.
The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld a complaint from a television viewer that the Churchill Insurance advertisements featuring the talking bulldog are misleading.
The complaint was based on whether Churchill Insurance customers could make a claim on their insurance without having to fill in a form, which the complainant felt was being suggested by the advertisement. Apparently around 20 percent of people making a car insurance claim with Churchill have to fill a form in, which the ASA considers to be enough to uphold the complaint.
Churchill Insurance have now revised their advertising to avoid misleading anyone, and trust the new advertisments are as entertaining and accurate as viewers can wish for.
Kwik Fit Insurance has taken steps to meet future legislation by investing in electronic car insurance certificate equipment.
