AlanHo Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have just been looking at some interesting research which argues that you can save money on car insurance by being careful with your job description.I have just discovered that choosing the title "retired" adds about 20% to the premium compared with being say a "Supply Teacher" or "Historian".Click HereTo check for yourself open the siteEnter a rough figure for your current premiumClick on "Full list"Choose a jobSubmitNow click on "Try another sector"In the blue box to the left of the screen click on each sector in turn to see a list of jobs in "price" order.Us retired folks get charged the most. From now on I am going to be a Historian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My tip for cheaper car insurance...1. Get your renewal from your provider.2. Goto their site and request a quote.3. Compare the prices - If it's cheaper get it = People save £80-100 most times on the renewal price from the same provider! It just shows how they are robbing you with the renewal prices!!!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Us retired folks get charged the most. From now on I am going to be a Historian.Ain't that just a load. Over 50 get a discount, and over 65 pay next to nothing here in Canada. That is of course with a clean record.It's the males 18-25 who pay most, but a recent study shows the most dangerous drivers are Males age 30-40.

That's the way it should be. The younger a driver is the less experience he will have so the liability goes up. In Scotland, Women should be charged three times the premium of a male driver as they are bloody useless. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I thought the older you got, the cheaper your premiums got? Progress eh... :(Fact - People who drive with NO tax + NO insurance + NO MOT get a fine when they get caught that equates to less than 1 years legit insurance costs ! And they can be over the limit with alcohol to boot ! Fair or what!?!? It must pay them to cheat the system and all the legit road users pay the price in the long run :( <--- Local rag for info under their court report section. + you see them driving around again within the week.......

It's the testosterone. 18 to 25 have it in abundance but use it up in the back seat of the car, whereas the 30-40s are usually frustrated by other things and use it all up knocking hell out of the company car.
