Research Suggests Women Don’t Take As Many Risks As Men So Are Offered Cheaper Women’s Car Cover


For a long time now insurance companies have been jumping on the bandwagon and offering cheaper women’s car cover based on the fact that women are safer drivers than men. This is likely to continue as new research has revealed that women drivers are less to go out and about in their cars during severe weather conditions and with severe winter weather being the cause of many accidents, women’s claims will remain down.

Icy conditions, windy and snowy conditions are all main causes of accidents on the road which then lead to an insurance claim, if women remain indoors then they are less likely to be involved in an accident which will make sure that they keep their good driving record. As reward for this many specialist insurance websites have popped up solely selling women’s car cover which offer lower premiums and bonuses. However searching for the insurance yourself is not generally the way to the best deals when it comes to premiums, premiums can be confusing and advertised misleading.

Very low premiums for any type of car insurance is not always the best way to go, car insurance should be tailored to the individual and certainly in the case of the women driver. A far better option when it comes to getting the quotes for women’s car cover is to go with a specialist broker.

A specialist broker will take into account that you are a woman driver and as such limit their search to those insurance companies that offer insurance aimed at women. Along with securing the cheapest premiums for the cover they will also look for the best deals which can include handbag cover and some basic form of breakdown cover. Just as important as getting low cost insurance is getting adequate cover and the information relating to the policy so that you can compare it with the premiums.

The key facts are where the terms and conditions relating to women’s car cover can be found and it is essential that you go over this with a fine tooth-comb to be aware of what is and is not included in the cover. It will also tell you how much excess you are asked to pay before the policy will kick in and tell you how much the cover will cost each month. All insurance policies can have exclusions in them, these are factors which could stop you from making a claim so it is imperative that you are aware of any that exist in any policy you are considering.

There can be many benefits to taking out women’s car cover and a specialist broker will offer information and advice on what to look for and how to choose the most suitable policy for your particular needs. Specialists who sell car insurance tailored for women can also offer other related insurance such as complete breakdown cover for a fraction of the cost if it is taken out alongside the car insurance. So if you are thinking of taking this out as well ask the broker to look for a combined policy which could save you even more money.
