Cover your car in a hurry if you've got a hot date

How much time do you spend sorting out your ladies' car insurance? With online car insurance providers such as CoverGirl doing all the hard work for you, we're guessing it's not much time at all because we women need the time for other important issues.

Car insurance provider, Sheila's Wheels, has carried out a survey to see how much time the average woman spends on getting ready to go out for a big occasion, and for some, it doesn't leave much time for anything else.

The average time spent preparing for that special event is a monumental 24 hours, which includes planning, shopping for an outfit and accessories, pampering appointments, and of course the final ‘getting ready' in front of your mirror.

Of the 1000 adult respondents, 79 percent of the women would buy a new outfit for a major social event such as a wedding, 46 percent for a significant birthday, and to be beautiful for that special ‘do' 75 percent would not go without a trip to a beautician or hairdresser.

Of course the great thing about buying online car insurance is that you don't need any of these things and you can do it in your PJs while giving yourself a face mask.

But when going out, 27 percent of the glam-girls go for a pedicure or manicure, 18 percent have waxing treatments, 13 percent get a fake tan, while 13 percent will opt for a facial.

When the event is imminent, over half of the women (56 percent) will spend more than three hours preparing themselves. However, just over a third of the women questioned take under an hour to dress and apply make-up, while a massive 78 percent of the men were good to go in under 60 minutes.

A CoverGirl spokesperson said, "We make ladies' car insurance so quick, easy and cheap that you can afford to take your time enjoying yourself as you get ready for a fab night out. With the car cover sorted you can relax and take your time, and who cares if, as the poll says, the average woman takes 23 hours and 45 minutes to get ready to go out. It's always worth it in the end."
