Car Insurance Quotes

Taking the time to do proper car insurance comparison will save you a lot of money on your monthly premiums. There are companies online that will compare car insurance quotes for you. For that, you would just provide some basic information, and the software on the website will search the database to find the quotes for you. They are not always final, but they will give you a good projection of the range for the premium.

When doing a car insurance comparison yourself, the easiest and fastest way is to get an online auto insurance quote. This saves you the time of making the phone call, passing your information to an agent, and then waiting for a response from the agent. It has the added benefit that you will not have to feel badly when you tell the agent that you are just trying to compare auto insurance rates, and you will let them know if you choose their company.

The best thing to do is to get several quotes before making that decision.

If your car insurance policy comes up for renewal in the next few weeks, don’t automatically accept the quote from your existing insurer – or you could end paying much more than you need to. The new ’11′ number plates are due out on March 1, making it one of the busiest times of the year for car insurance renewals.

Millions of people stick to the same providers without shopping round for a better deal. Research by moneysupermarket found the average motorist sticks with the same car insurance provider for two-and-a-half years, with motorists over the age of 55 staying loyal to their insurers for three years and three months – potentially costing them hundreds of pounds.

Proving yet again that loyalty doesn’t pay when it comes to financial products, drivers who automatically renew are missing out on average savings of £270 a year.

With 6.3million motorists letting their policies renew without searching for a better deal, that’s a collective £1.7billion we’re paying into insurers’ pockets unnecessarily.

Misplaced loyalty and expensive apathy

A fifth of drivers let their policies automatically renew each year without shopping around. O

Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak may  be in poor health, the country’s envoy to Washington told a US broadcaster  Monday, days after the longtime leader was ousted by a people power revolution.

In some of the first comments by an Egyptian official on Mubarak’s  condition, Ambassador Sameh Shoukry brought up the possibility of the  ex-leader’s deteriorating health when asked about reports that he may have  suffered a stroke or be in a coma.

“I am following the rumors and the press reports related to his health, and  might have received some communication at a personal level indicating that he  is possibly in somewhat of bad health,” Shoukry told NBC’s Today Show.    But he stressed that “I really don’t have sufficient information so I  wouldn’t like to speculate” on what, if anything, might be ailing Mubarak.

The 82-year-old strongman relinquished power on Friday after a 30-year  autocratic rule.    Rumors had surfaced that the former leader had fled the country, but on  Sunday Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq said Mubarak was still in Egypt in the Red  Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Speculation has remained steady in Egypt in recent years over Mubarak’s  health. His medical condition had usually been a

Next month the European Court of Justice will rule on whether or not it’s legal to consider gender when calculating insurance premiums. But is it really sexist that women pay less for cover than men? On March 1, a decision will be made in Europe about the legality of using gender to determine insurance premiums.

If the court decides that this is discriminatory and bans insurers from changing prices depending on the applicant’s gender, then this could cause huge changes in the car insurance market and women could see their premiums soar as a result.

The cost of being a man

It’s certainly true that men and women pay vastly different sums for the same cover.

Take, for example, two identical applications for car insurance, made through the moneysupermarket.com comparison tool.

A 28 year-old female who has been driving for five years, with a small 1.4 litre five-door vehicle, would be offered a best quote of £618.43 for comprehensive cover.
