Car Insurance

Motorists are being advised on travel insurance policy as Britain faces its coldest winter in ten years. Drivers are being advised to make sure they have adequate motor breakdown cover, as Britain stands to face a particularly cold winter. The Met Office has forecast that this year could be the coldest winter in ten years and comparison site insuresupermarket.com is urging motorists to ensure their cover includes a number of standard options. The website claims that cover should include tow to garage, fix at roadside, take you and your passengers home, fix at home and car hire/accommodation if your car cannot be fixed. Richard Mason, director of insuresupermarket.com, pointed out that

standard benefits rarely vary from car insurance provider to provider, though dropping 'at home' cover can reduce premiums. "However, there are many additional features and benefits available and these most definitely do vary widely," he said. "From our research, the breakdown policy with the most additional features and benefits is provided by Autohome Europlus, including cover whilst driving on the continent, recovery for accident, theft or vandalism, and provision of a relief driver among others." Mr Mason added that anyone purchasing a breakdown cover policy should consider which add-ons they require and go for a more basic car insurance policy if they are not required.
