Here’s your chance to be an earth hero and get cheaper car insurance rates at the same time.

If you live in London, electric cars are exempt from charges on congestion and you get another bonus: you get cheaper car insurance premiums because your produce fewer emissions compared to gasoline-powered cars. Usually these electric types are also small in stature, but it’s also a big plus to the insurance company as they are more unlikely to get into a serious car accident.

So, if you want to save up on gas, get cheaper car insurance premiums, and lessen the carbon monoxide in the air, buy an electric car.

Getting car insurance can be confusing. There’s three types: liability, collision, and comprehensive. We suggest that if you’re going to buy auto insurance, you might as well buy a comprehensive package. The reason for this is so that you’ll be covered in case there would be any damage to your vehicle from natural disasters such as flooding.

Here’s one more tip: if your car is wrecked or destroyed completely, the insurance company will only cover the cost of how much your car is worth. Lastly, if the water came from the sky (ex:leaky roof , rain, snow, etc.) the damage is covered. However, if it came from the ground (flood, etc.) it won’t be covered because flooding isn’t covered under normal policies.

Little white lies were supposed to be harmless until you were found out. However, what if there were 11 million white lies done each day? That’s the number of car drivers who will not tell the truth (read: lie) to avoid having their claims rejected.

The survey done by moneysupermarket.com further details it. According to the survey, the car owners found it more important not jeopardizing their car insurance rather than being honest with their circumstances.

When asked what they would do in the event that they left their car unsecured and it was broken into, a third of motorists would said that they would keep the truth from their insurer for fear that they would not be able to claim on the insurance; another third said they would tell the truth, and the final third were undecided about what course of action they would take.

If ever they were found out, this would push the price of for other motorists. And their claim would be denied as well.

The future of the car industry will rely on a black box.

Yes, like the black box (actually it’s orange, weird they’d call it black) in airplanes that record flight movements and everything else that happens in the pilot’s cockpit, will also be installed in cars. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) say that this technology has already been installed in Staffordshire.

According to the Spokesman of ABI, Malcolm Tarling:

“Insurers will certainly use advances in technology and the goal that they are always trying to achieve is to ensure that the price that they charge for insurance reflects the actual risk.”

There are car insurance offered online with the benefits of saving your effort and time. First thing you have to do is to make a list of important and needed details about your car such as your license number, car’s model, car’s features, driving history, some personal information and so on. Use the search engine that will guide you in finding related websites, just by typing in keywords. See if the companies have good records, ratings and you are familiar with it. After choosing the insurance company, decide for the type of coverage and policies you want, then get a free quote (depending on the website). Then compare the policies you have gathered from the websites you visited then select the one that best suits your needs.
