Worrying car crime figures revealed

New figures released by the Government have threatened to damage the fantastic deals that are available on women's car insurance.

Statistics claim that 457,451 motorists were the victims of vandals and petty thieves in 2005 alone. There’s really not much you can do to protect your car from vandals and mindless thugs who pick on your car for no reason, but you can take measures to protect it from thieves.

A vast majority of the reported robberies were spontaneous crimes by eagle-eyed thieves who saw something left in the car and made a grab for it. Handbags, mobiles and laptops all go missing in this way.

So to protect your belongings, and indeed your cheap car insurance policy, police are warning car owners to keep items well-hidden and ensure that doors are locked when you leave the vehicle.

Experts have warned that the government figure falls way short of the actual number of offences committed, and some have gone as far as to suggest that nearly one and a half million people were actually car crime victims in 2005.

But they have revealed that many of these crimes go undeclared because drivers fear that their car insurance premium will suffer if they report them.

So girls, it seems that the only way of keeping that women's car insurance price fantastically low is to keep that handbag hidden and that door locked. Just think of what you can buy with all the money you save!

*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).
