Supermodel joins car insurance initiative

Stick-thin Jodie Kidd, glamorous millionairess and supermodel catwalk queen, has joined forces with the DVLA to head a new initiative encouraging people to use the internet to make sure they renew their road tax and car insurance on time.

The 27-year-old Surrey lass appeared in Norwich as part of the nationwide campaign and said, "For a busy person like me, trying to find all my documents and process a tax disc application between nine to five on a weekday is a real hassle.

"Last year my dog chewed up my car insurance certificate so that added to the nightmare.

"So far I've been a good girl and have never been caught out but there have been a few close shaves, especially as I own three cars."

Ms Kidd does indeed have three cars and is the proud owner of a Lamborghini, a Maserati and a Ferrari. A self-confessed driving addict, she has in the past taken part in the notorious Gumball cross-continent rally, joining celebrity racers as they tear across the roads of Europe in a variety of über-fast supercars.

As part of the DVLA campaign, the supermodel is also promoting the use of new-style MOT certificates that can be verified electronically and are linked to a database containing each motorist's car insurance and tax status.

Craig Handy, spokesman for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, specialists in providing car insurance for women, said, "Nobody likes paying for their motor insurance and some people see it as a huge hassle. But using an online provider you can take the stress out of the whole process."

*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).
