News - Fuel tax means less money for shopping

The recent decision to continue with the freeze on car fuel duty is a welcome relief for female motorists.

However, the AA motoring Trust Claim that high petrol prices have already left Britons with less money to spend in the shops which is terrible news for us girls. Petrol prices are 10p more than they were at the beginning of last year and crude oil prices are on the rise.

Paul Watters, head of transport policy for The AA Motoring Trust adds "Motorists will continue to suffer from a big hole in their pockets from inflated car fuel costs. Each penny rise in the price of petrol takes £730,000 a day out of consumer spending and leaves a £26 gap in a typical two car-owning household’s annual budget."

This means that the only chance of us girls hitting the sales this January is to save some money by making sure we have the cheapest car insurance for women on the market.

There are sure to be many low cost car insurance offers if you shop around. Surprisingly, the majority of people simply renew their motor insurance each year with their existing provider. With savings of up to 30% available it is well worth spending time shopping for a better deal.

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
