Excess in Car Insurance


What is the insurance excess car and under what circumstances it pays?
Excess in the UK is called the contribution to be paid when our fault the damage is going to happen. In the UK there are several types of excessu. If you have Fully Comprehensive insurance policy, if the damage is our fault, we will have to pay the appropriate excess. In various cases, the amount may vary. As a rule, it can be up to £ 100 to £ 500.

Different drivers, depending on their age or experience in driving, may be subject to different excessami. As a rule, so that the younger or inexperienced drivers in the event of damage will have to pay a higher excess than their older and more experienced in driving colleagues.
There is also a voluntary contribution (voluntary excess), which not everyone knows. This is the amount that the driver has voluntarily decided to pay in the event of damage to his guilt, but it is paid in addition to the mandatory excessu. This means that if the excess in the event of an accident is £ 200, and we voluntarily declared that voluntary excess of £ 100, in the event of an accident must be added to the excessy.
You may ask what gaining driver declaring voluntary excess. Our experience in the A-Plan Insurance shows that in many cases, the Voluntary Excess can reduce the price of annual insurance premiums.
Also from experience we know that the Voluntary excess rather choose to owners of trucks and people with no discount for accident-free driving. Always ask your insurance company with accurate information on their policies.

Young Driver Car Insurance

It has become increasingly difficult to get young driver car insurance in the UK. The reason behind this is because the statistics for young drivers having a car accident are not very good. By definition, young drivers have very little experience of driving and thus have a greater chance of having a bump in their vehicle. Car insurance companies are obviously in business to make money and are understandably reluctant to insure such drivers. In most cases, companies will either offer a policy at a very high premium or refuse to insure the person altogether.
However, there are ways to lower your premium. First of all you should purchase a car that has a low insurance group number. Insurance group numbers range from 1 - 20. Generally speaking the higher the number the higher your premium is likely to be. This is because cars with high insurance group numbers usually have bigger engines, are more expensive and go faster. A low insurance group vehicle will lower the premium for a young driver policy. Young drivers should also be encouraged to take an advanced driving test. Some companies look favourably on drivers who take this test as they are seen as more responsible and more careful about their driving. Finally, opting for third party fire and theft or third party only cover also lowers your quote. If you have purchased a vehicle that does not cost very much money then you should seriously consider whether or not you need a fully comprehensive policy.
Getting cheaper quotes for young drivers can still be tricky. However, http://www.acceptdirect.co.uk have a special option that is aimed at this particular market and can save you a lot of money on your insurance quote.
