Car insurance news

Watch out for dodgy limos girls

If you're a woman, car insurance at low low prices means that you have plenty of cash left over to spend on having a grand night out.

If you're idea of a fabulous night is getting dressed up to the nines and piling into the back of a limo with a gang of your best girlfriends in order to arrive at your favourite nightclub in style, you may want to think again. Many of these glamorous looking limousines are in fact illegal and potential death machines.

Recently, a spot check on limousines being driven around the streets of Southampton revealed that 70% of drivers were committing motoring offences including forgery, lack of motor insurance, unpaid road tax and not being registered with the local authorities.

What's more, many of these cars were found to be unroadworthy with defective steering, tyres and brake cables. This is particularly worrying as limousine hire is especially popular for children's birthday parties as well as hen nights.

A spokesperson from CoverGirl, the expert female car insurance providers, has this to add: 'When you're planning a big night out make sure you do everything through the proper channels, only booking hire transport approved by the authorities. It is not worth saving a few quid by booking a cheaper limo and putting your life at risk.

'Also, you should ensure that your own car is in tip top condition and that your motor insurance is up to date. There are plenty of online car insurance bargains up for grabs especially if you choose a women's car insurance specialist such as CoverGirl.'
