Will Thomas looks at the insurance benefits of popping the question.
Cardiff, UK (PRWEB) February 13, 2009 -- Couples thinking of tying the knot, following a Valentine’s Day proposal, could save up to 16%* on their car insurance, just by declaring their new spouse on their policy, according to the latest research from Confused.com.
Going online and comparing prices should get newlyweds the best deal. The average saving amongst the top ten insurance providers was £34, enough to have a dozen red roses delivered just in time for the most romantic day of the year.**
Newlyweds do not even have to change insurance providers to make savings; updating their marital status with their current insurer and pledging to share their car with their new spouse, as well as their lives could still save them pounds. Quotes run for a 35 year old Administrator driving a Vauxhall Astra show a saving of £22.73 from Hastings Essential.
Will Thomas, head of motor insurance at Confused.com, says: "Weddings are expensive affairs; however, it is some consolation that a new married status could save drivers up to 16% on their car insurance quotes. Yet, while there are some great deals to be had, shopping around for the best deal is essential as some insurance providers are less competitive in this field than others.
"Confused.com enables consumers to simultaneously compare car insurance prices from our extensive panel of insurance providers, and can deliver quotes in a matter of minutes. However, if drivers are not quite ready to love honour and cherish, then there are still savings to be made. With the average customer saving £206 on their motor insurance with Confused.com, it is definitely still worth a quick visit to the site."
