Handbag fans check UK car insurance policies

British women drivers are being warned about bag snatches following a series of thefts in Sydney, Australia.

Although in the UK, car insurance is normally cheap for ladies, their trusty handbag could make them more vulnerable to thieves, especially when parked at traffic lights.

Although some motor insurance companies offer handbag cover, some don't, and therefore ladies could be left out of pocket after a theft.

One female driver who had her bag stolen, spoke out about her experience and said: "I heard the car's passenger door open and I realised what was about to happen…I felt extremely violated. I was screaming and shaking."

A spokesperson for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, the experts in UK car insurance said: "We ladies usually get in our cars and put our handbags on the passenger seat, although this can be a real attraction to thieves.

"The next time you step in your vehicle, put your bag behind the driver's seat and out of sight from potential criminals. You may also want to check your women's car insurance policy to see if you're covered for handbag losses."

*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).
