Lady car insurance company discovers grandparents' high mileage
Research from a lady car insurance company has shown that grandparents in the UK collectively travel 3.8 billion miles each year with their young charges in the back of the car.
According to Sheilas' Wheels, the average nan and granddad will do over 1,000 miles a year ferrying their grandchildren about; a mileage which would be equivalent to £3,160 if they were a taxi.
The women car insurance firm's research revealed that not only do grandparents rack up the miles to their own house on visits, but some also take their grandchildren to and from school, to sporting events and to groups such as brownies and cubs.
A spokesperson for Sheilas' Wheels commented: "Grandparents up and down the UK are clearly putting a lot of miles on the clock by filling the traditional shoes of mum and dad. They play a crucial role throughout school holidays in particular, especially for dual-income families in full time work.
The lady car insurance company's representative went on to advise grandparents to ensure their passengers' are kept as safe as possible by adhering to child seat regulations and using appropriate safety belts.

Car insurance news 2005
*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).
