The chances are likely that you may have been paying a lot more than you need to pay on your car insurance. If you compare car insurance within the supermarket, you will be able to find that more often than not your current insurance cover has some or the other limits. For instance, you might be aware about the deductibles. But you should also know that if your deductible is lesser than £500, you will be losing more of your money to your insurance. But choosing the right cover will be helpful in getting you a lower insurance premium and survive the current troubling times.

The car insurance sector has been facing a tough time amidst the current downturn. A recent research shows that about 70% of the insurance companies in UK would charge you without much thought if you thought about ending your policy on a premature basis. This has been a 22% increase since the year 2004. It was also seen that about 67% of these insurance companies would charge you for just changing about the details in your policy. The previous value stood at a shocking 17% just indicating that the insurance sector has been showing unintended additional charges over the years.

The accident and claims record of high profile politician Tony Yengeni have made headlines this past weekend. I had the privilege of sharing a conversation with Tony earlier this year – and our conversation focused more on road safety than car insurance. It is however important to reflect on the data referred to in a story in City Press and discuss the reference thereof to car insurance.

Background information to claims history

City Press has reported that an insurance company paid out R1.3m after a luxury Maserati GranTurismo belonging to Yengeni was wrecked in a high-speed collision three months ago. T

It has been estimated that there are about two million uninsured car drivers currently driving on the UK roads. The troubling part of the issue that it has been highly difficult for the respective authorities to find out the culprits- driving without insurance cover being one among the offences in UK. Another of the rising incidents that have been giving insurance companies and the other transport authorities a hard time is the honesty level of the insurance customers. It is known that insurance companies have been the good boy when it comes to insurance claims but one should understand that they have been working hard to find out whether their customers are honest.

Introduction

Most of us stay well clear of vehicles with a red “L” at the back. Even though such an indication that a Learner Driver might be behind the wheel is no longer a requirement – many decide that it is still a safe option to alert other road users to this potential danger.
