Private Car Insurance
On average you spend 37,000 hours in your car and drive 800,000 miles during your lifetime (enough to get to the moon and back three times!). Chances are in that time you will be involved in an accident whether fault or non-fault and it makes sense to have the right insurance in place should this happen. Car insurance is a legal requirement and it is a criminal offence to drive without it. Couple this with the fact you would wish to protect your prized asset then car insurance through an expert is a must.

There is also the option to incorporate additional products
When comparing insurance products it is important to compare on a like for like basis. Many of the companies that promise cheap insurance will do so by stripping out covers and applying large excesses and low limits leaving limited cover.
Always ensure you have the correct use noted for your vehicle. If you do even the smallest drive in conjunction with your employment you will need business use (other than travelling to and from you permanent place of work). Failure to do so means the damage to your vehicle may not be covered in the event of an accident.
Always be as accurate as possible when answering questions as what may seem a small oversight could leave to a claim not being covered.
