Car insurance experts are urging drivers across the UK to avoid 10 common mistakes that could invalidate their policy cover, potentially leaving them unable to claim repair costs from their provider in the event of an accident. But all is not lost as Nicholas Shaw, Director of Operations at Dayinsure, shares simple measures drivers can take to ensure they don’t accidentally invalidate their insurance policy.
The advice comes at a time when car insurance customers face a growing divide between those paying monthly and annually, according to Which? The consumer group recently said those customers who can often least afford to pay "over the odds" may end up paying around an extra £300 on average.
Data shared with Which? by comparison website GoCompare in January indicated that, as of November 2022, nearly half (46%) of car insurance customers opted to pay in monthly instalments. In November 2019, the average difference was £217, according to the research, however, by November 2022, the typical difference had increased to £302.
