Insurance – Pay-As-You-Go

Paying thousands of pounds a month for your car which is only to be parked on your drive can be annoying.

Many cars, at least 90% will stay static in their lifetime, however, providers can now save you money if you don’t drive every day.

Pay by the mile & by time

You can save between £100-£500 a year by effectively paying for your car insurance by pay-as-you-go! With a new technology called ‘insuretech’ – making insurance cheaper on anything such as bicycles and expensive items.

“It gives you that flexibility to do a fair comparison before you start a journey – to say, ‘Shall I walk it, shall I take the bus, or shall I take the train?'” says the company’s chief executive James Blackham.

You Have Already Brought Your Last Vehicle

Tech analysts are predicting that in less than 20 years we’ll all have stopped owning cars.

A huge claim, but the argument of new and innovating technology is ready to revolutionise transportation for everyone. Self-driving electric vehicles that are organised into an Uber network, offering cheap transport that you’ll decide quickly you won’t need a car anymore.

Don’t think 20 years is enough time? Think about it, it only took 13 years for cars to replace horses in 1900-1913 New York.

We highly recommend reading more here, and decide yourself if you want to learn to drive.

2032 Ban on Petrol & Diesel

In the next 15 years, MP’s have claimed the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles should be banned in the UK.

The current target was going to be 2040, but they’ve brought it back eight years due to the world’s pollution and environmental issues.

Ministers were also told that they need to “get a grip” when it comes to implementing an effective nationwide charging network, which many identify as one of the main barriers to encouraging electric car use.

Let’s Get Ready for Winter!

Get your car ready for winter.

We recommend that you regularly check the condition of your cars tyres condition and pressure. Ensure that they have plenty of tread; you can do this with a 20p coin, hold the coin in the tread and as long as the rubber comes above the border around the coin, your car’s tyres are legal.

You don’t want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere because of a flat battery, so it’s worth taking your car into a garage to have its battery tested. Make sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged.

If you’re worried about your car condition, speak to us or contact your nearest garage and get some advice!
