Car insurance news

Shocking shopping stats revealed

As a woman, car insurance should be cheap. And it's lucky it is really.

Because new research has shown that British women own £7.3 billion worth of clothes that they never wear.

The study by Churchill Home Insurance found that four out of every five women have bought clothes that have never been taken off the hanger. In fact, the average female has 14 items of clothing that have not been taken out of the wardrobe in the last year, with each of these items costing an average of £21.82.

Added up, that's £300 worth of clothes just sat there gathering dust. If that doesn't sound bad enough, over the course of her working life a woman will blow an average of £12,810 on clothes that are destined never to leave the closet.

It really is lucky that car insurance for women can be so cheap considering the amount of money that we waste. But men aren't much better. Over the course of their working life they'll squander nearly £8,000 on clothes that they'll never wear.

Craig Handy, spokesman for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, specialists in cheap car insurance for women, said, "Girls can get fantastic cheap car insurance deals nowadays, which I suppose is a good thing if they're spending this much on clothes."

*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).
