Study reveals cheap car insurance comes at cost of quality policies
Female motorists are being advised to check the details of their cheap car insurance policies before buying after research reveals that the level of cover can vary dramatically between providers.
A study by KwikGuides.com has found that many drivers are being caught out by charges for services they had expected to receive as standard.
These services include amending details, European driving cover and the provision of a courtesy car.
For example, the AA charges motorists £25 to change the details on their cheap car insurance policy, whilst Churchill also has a fee of £21. In comparison, Norwich Union will happily change a policyholder's details for nothing.
The research showed that more than 7.5 million drivers each year have to pay to change their details when they buy a new car.
KwikGuides believes that many of these services are not being provided as standard because motor insurance providers want to lure new custom by offering extremely cheap car insurance quotes.
However, it warns ladies that these low cost motor insurance rates are being offered at the cost of some of the standard services.
