3 Ways in which you can ensure buying a cheap auto insurance policy

Accidents are quite a common phenomenon on the road. If you are a driver you must
already be aware of the perils that a driver has to face every day on the roads. It is also to
be remembered that when something unexpected happens it usually does not come with a
warning. Auto insurance is there to protect you financially form these unexpected losses.
It is not very advisable for you to buy a very cheap auto insurance policy as you must
ensure that your policy provides adequate coverage. However, this does not mean that
you will buy a policy which charges exorbitant premiums.

There are various tips that you can follow in order to get cheap auto insurance. Some of
those tips are as follows.

1. Starting with lower coverage: In order to get a cheap auto insurance policy you have
to start with a lower coverage. You may change your policy later and can accommodate
more coverage. This change can be brought about when you can afford to pay more
towards your policy.

2. Comparing all the rates: You should know that all insurance companies offer
different rates when it comes to policies. Thus, before buying your auto insurance policy
you should compare the rates that are offered by different companies. This is to be done
so that you can opt for the best rate. You must find out the price quotes of at least 3
companies and compare between them. Along with the price comparison you must also
compare the reputation. This is to be done in order to ensure that you choose a good
insurance company that will cater to all your needs and queries as well as provide you
with cheaper rates.

3. Maintaining a clean driving record: If you have a history of rough driving, then it
will be very difficult for you to get a cheap auto insurance policy. This is because as per
the insurance company there are more chances of you having an accident than some one
who is careful driver and has a clean driving record. Thus, you should try and maintain a
clean driving record.

These are a few things that you can consider in order to get cheap auto insurance. You
can also insure that you buy a cheap policy by buying a car that is not very expensive.

Economy still uncertain despite base rate cut

Debt management company Gregory Pennington have warned that the economy remains uncertain, despite a number of signals suggesting a potential recovery, and have advised anyone facing severe financial problems to seek professional debt advice as soon as possible.

The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee’s announcement on Wednesday that the base rate would fall to 4.5% was intended to calm fears surrounding the money market and increase lenders’ willingness to do business with one another, subsequently increasing liquidity and boosting the loans market.

A number of lenders announced cuts to their mortgage rates following the base rate announcement – which may come as a relief to prospective homeowners or existing homeowners looking to remortgage, following many lenders’ reluctance to respond to the last base rate drop.

Meanwhile, petrol prices recently fell to as little as 103.9 pence per litre, while food price growth slowed by 0.2% in September, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) arousing speculation that overall inflation has hit its peak and will now begin to slow.

However, a spokesperson for Gregory Pennington commented that while there are encouraging signs for the economy, there is no guarantee that further difficulty for the economy can be avoided.

“The first thing to bear in mind is that while the base rate cut is intended to help the economy, it was brought in as an emergency measure,” she said. “The threat of a severe economic downturn is still looming and there are no guarantees it can be avoided.

“The fall in oil and food prices are very encouraging, but both are heavily affected by external factors, largely outside our Government’s control.”

The debt management company spokesperson was keen to emphasise the continued need to take care over finances and manage debts effectively in the coming months. “There is still the possibility that things could get tighter in the near future, so it pays to tackle any financial issues now, rather than waiting to see what happens next.

“People who are struggling with debt are especially at risk, because their finances are already stretched – and any further rises in costs of living could make those debts unmanageable.

“As always, we advise anyone struggling with debt to seek expert debt help as soon as possible. Leaving it too late could allow your debts to grow, which is particularly dangerous if costs of living do continue to rise.

“There are a number of debt solutions to help with various financial situations. A debt management plan is a flexible means of getting out of debt in which your repayments are based on how much you can afford, and in some cases interest and other charges can be frozen.

“Debt consolidation involves grouping your debts into one convenient monthly payment, therefore simplifying your finances, and your debt can also be spread out over a longer period of time, meaning monthly payments are smaller – although this can mean you pay more interest in the long run.

“For more serious debts of over £15,000GBP, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) might be more appropriate. These work by agreeing with your creditors to make payments based on what you can afford for a period of five years, after which the remaining debt is considered settled.”

“Some people talk about ‘climbing out of debt’ like it’s a pit, while others say they’re ‘buried under a mountain of debt’. Either way, the top can seem a long way off when you’re right down at the bottom, peering up at the promise of a debt-free future”
