To help motorists cut costs this autumn, Direct Line car insurance is offering 0% APR representative on car insurance policies quoted before the end of November 20.
The free monthly payment offer is available to new customers in addition to the company’s current offer of 12 months of car insurance for the price of 10.
Quotes are valid for 90 days, so even if the driver’s car insurance policy isnt due for renewal before the offer ends, he or she can get a quote and take up the policy at that price and on those payment terms at any point within the following three months.
It’s the New Year and time to watch those pennies closer than ever.
To help you, the iCarhireinsurance.com team has come up with the following top tips to avoid sales pressure at the car rental desk and also making sure you aren’t ripped off when you drop a car off:
1. Take Photographic Evidence
We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again, make sure you take photos of the hire car, at pick-up, and particularly any parts of the car where there is damage. Make sure you turn on the time and date setting on your camera.
Warning: An iCarhireinsurance.com survey, conducted by YouGov in 2011, found that almost a quarter of those surveyed (23%) had found damage on the car that had not been disclosed initially during the pick-up process.

When you first look at insurance it’s easy to look at whole life insurance and think that it looks expensive, term insurance is cheaper and looks just as good. This is not always the case though. Do you want to be covered for your whole life? Do you have a pot of cash available to you that you can loan from at any time when you have an emergency and need some extra cash to get you by? Then maybe it is time to look at whole life insurance.
Whole life insurance is just what it says, an insurance policy that will last your whole life (or until you are 100). It is also an investment that will continue to grow ,as you pay more into it, something that does not happen with term life insurance. Y Read more…
New research from Confused.com shows 13% of people know someone who is driving without a licence, with many failing to take their driving test at all.
According to the car insurance comparison site, there has been a dramatic fall in the number of people learning to drive as a result of huge rises in the cost of motoring. According to figures from the Department for Transport, fewer than 640,000 driving tests were taken in the UK between April and August this year.
This represents a 5% compared with the same period in 2010, and a 15% decrease compared with the same period in 2009.
This drop in the number of people learning to drive correlates with a 24% annual rise in comprehensive car insurance prices during the second quarter.
Research has shown that drivers under the age of 25, and particularly men aged between 17 and 24, are those who are faced with the most dramatic rises in the cost of car insurance.
Do you have any diseases that would cause your life insurance premiums to go up? The reason why I am asking this is because a lot of people will wait until it is too late to get life insurance and because of this they have to spend a lot more money and sometimes run the risk of simply being denied.
If you want to find cheap life insurance even though you have a disease of some kind, then you will have to do a little bit of work first. The reason why you will need to do a little bit of work is because not all life insurance companies will underwrite a person who has a disease that could kill them. What you must do is go around and get some insurance quotes from different companies that will underwrite you with your disease. Read more…
When it comes to your property, there are many different types of insurance that are available to you. If you are a homeowner, the best thing you should do would be to purchase an extensive homeowners insurance which will protect you against any damages to your property. On the other hand, if you are renting, it then makes perfect sense to obtain renters insurance so that you get the peace of mind in knowing that you will be covered if there is anything that happens to your assets. Homeowners and renters insurance are highly popular and as such, it is highly likely that you will be able to get good deals for both types of insurance.
The good news is that there are many different types of coverage for those who are interested. Read more…

If you are considering private health insurance, because either you are not currently covered or feel you are paying too high a premium with your current provider, doing some research before buying new coverage makes sense. Knowing what type of insurance is right for you and getting accurate information on pre-existing conditions will make it easier to find the right provider.
A PPO is known as a Preferred Provider plan, because the health insurer contracts with certain doctors, specialists, hospitals and labs to make up a network. As long as you stay in the medical provider’s network, you generally pay a low co-pay dollar amount for each visit. G Read more…
