Things to Take Into Account With Your Car Insurance

Things to Take Into Account With Your Car Insurance

Car insurance is a right pain in the backside. But it is also illegal to drive without it. Because of this it’s important to get the best deal you can for you and your car. But there are a lot of external factors that could affect your insurance premium rates.

Here are some of the most important:

Age

Your age will play a massive factor in the cost of your insurance premium. If you are a young driver, your insurance will be more expensive. This is because younger drivers are perceived as more irresponsible and prone to accidents. Of course, this won’t apply to all young drivers, but the sad fact is that generalisations affect everybody. Prepare to pay more if you’re a younger driver.

Finances

Believe it or not your finances will have an effect on your insurance costs. You need to prove that you have a regular income and can support insurance payments. This is a factor that will be taken into account along with your occupation.

Make & Model

The make and model of your vehicle will play a big role in determining the cost of your insurance premium. If your car is more valuable or needs more maintenance work, this may make your insurance costs more expensive. A used car from Imperial Car Supermarket will most likely cost much less for insurance than a new car would.

Experience

Your experience as a driver will come into play with regards to insurance. If you have never driven before and have only just passed your test, you might have expensive insurance. If you’re a more experienced driver, it’s likely your premium will be less. But there are other factors to consider too such as make and model of car, etc.

Area

The area you live in will be a factor in the decision-making process. If you live in an area with a high crime rate, your premium will be much higher. This is due to an increase in the likelihood of your car being stolen. If you live in a nicer area with a lower crime rate, then your insurance will no doubt be lower. The make of your car can also play a role here too. Some models are more attractive to thieves or easier to steal.

Marital Status

Believe it or not your marital status can affect your insurance premium. Married couples tend to have fewer accidents than single people. So if you’re married, you will be looking at a cheaper insurance premium.

Credit Score

A lot of insurance companies take your credit score into account when calculating your rates. There isn’t a specific cut-off point that can affect your insurance. But as you’d expect, a lower credit score will often mean a higher insurance rate.

Job

Your job will have an effect on your insurance premiums. If you’re in a job considered more high-risk, like a delivery driver, you’re rates will be higher. You spend more time on the road, so the likelihood of accidents increases.

Driving History

Your driving history might also play a role. If you have prior for reckless driving or if you’ve got points on your licence you may find you insurance skyrockets. If you’ve been driving a long time and you have a clean record, you could see significant savings on your insurance rates.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
