We can offer a cheap car insurance quote to every customer because we have reduced our own overheads. We don’t have a large high street branch or a huge call centre to pay for and we don’t advertise through mainstream channels, preferring to let you find us through the search engines. We also only provide car insurance for women so you don’t have to subsidise male drivers, who are statically proven to cause higher value car accidents.

As well as providing some really fantastic car insurance deals to all CoverGirl customers, we also provide some great advice, which can get you out of a difficult driving situation and make you more knowledgeable about motoring.

Here are some invaluable tips for driving abroad.

Some tips on how to stay safe when driving in a foreign country

• Ensure that all maintenance and servicing is carried prior to your trip so that you minimise the likelihood of breaking down

• Always carry your driving documents with you in the car just in case the authorities need to see them. In some countries you have to carry them with you by law. You should only leave photocopies of your documents when the vehicle is unattended

• For longer trips security mark the windows of your car. Your personal details can be etched onto the windows so that it can be traced back to you if stolen

• All non removable items, such as stereos, should be etched with your details

• Trailers or caravans should be attached to the main vehicle by an integral padlock or chain

• When travelling keep your belongings safely under your seat and be vigilant for bag snatchers. Always lock your doors when travelling through built up areas

• Don’t encourage opportunistic thieves by wearing expensive jewellery whilst travelling

• Use recognised service areas for toilets, accommodation, refreshments etc

• Never pick up hitch hikers as you can never be 100% certain that your passenger will not be carrying a weapon

• Try to book overnight stops in advance so that you are not left stranded without accommodation. If you need to look for somewhere to stay do so late afternoon or early evening

• Always use secure parking when you can or park in a well lit area close to where you are staying

• Make sure you know the phone number of the emergency services in the country in which you are travelling. For example in France you dial 17 for the police and 15 for emergency medical assistance
