It can be hard to find a good hiding place for Christmas presents, especially for those with curious children, but Go.Compare insurance is urging people to think twice before stashing presents in the boot of their car this month.
While it’s never a good idea to store valuables in the car, the comparison site has also found that, as well as the security risk it poses, the cover provided for personal possessions varies significantly across car insurance products. Belongings left in your car are insured when you have personal possessions cover, but while this is included with most comprehensive car insurance policies, third party, fire and theft (TPO) policies often don’t offer the same protection.
Go.Compare looked at 305 standard comprehensive car insurance products and found that, while 289 do cover personal possessions as standard, however, the financial cover that’s offered can vary significantly.
