It is a well known fact that there are certain areas in the world that cheap car insurance providers simply will not touch with a barge pole. For example, native insurers in France will not insure any vehicle as soon as it sets wheel on the island around the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs Elysees in Paris. There are no applicable rules on that island so you literally take your chances with the traffic, but what does this mean for you when you are there?

Now is the time to start thinking about where you want to travel this spring and summer and these elements need to be taken into consideration if you plan on driving your own car.

‘Scorpion’ insurers might sting the motorists who are trying to save on car insurance by cutting their cover. According to a latest survey, one out of ten motorists cut on its car insurance cover to save money this year. Most of the car owners were willing to remove courtesy car or legal protection from their policy and even increase their excess amount to lower their premium prices. But in most of the cases, the insurance providers compile all these services in a package along with cover so they automatically get extras like courtesy car or legal protection. The car owners are left with no choice but to pay for all such expenses accordingly. The

Questioning motorists involved in accidents in the past two year, the insurer found that over one in 20 believed they had been a victim of a “crash-for-cash” scam, with “rear-ending” (when a fraudster brakes sharply causing the driver behind to hit them) the most common form of entrapment.

Other popular methods include signalling another driver to merge into traffic and then crashing into their vehicle (24%), or “side-swiping” other cars (17%).

When I was a kid we drove. A Lot. It was a sort of entertainment for my parents and a means of teaching us kids patience and self control.  I called it torture.  How many wiggly seven year olds do you know would relish the idea of sitting in a confined space sardine-style with their four siblings for endless miles along a deserted back road?

We did come up with a game to pass the time: counting road kill.  Not the kindest game, but we were obviously limited in our entertainment choices.  On the other hand, we did see some really neat specimens like a four-point buck, the huge porcupine, and even a rattle snake.  My personal favorites were the skunks because they sparked much conversation in the car for miles afterward, and I figured it was a very poetic way to repay my parent’s for the forced confinement.  I’ve always had a very well developed sense of irony.

When I was a teen, I had my first experience with being the producer of such road kill. I was dri

Van insurance can be astronomical today, especially if you have had an accident in the past couple of years or do not quite conform to the criteria that they put in place for their assessments but did you know that there is 5% of the country that insurance providers do not tend to offer quotes for. This was confirmed by one of the major insurers a few weeks ago and leaves some drivers in the lurch. If your van is stored in that 5% of the country though, you could find your business severely compromised.

The 5% of the country that one insurer does not cover may differ slightly from another provider so shopping around is the key to finding van insurance in areas that you may struggle.
