Warning over car insurance lies

Wed, 24 Dec 2008

People who lie to get cheaper car insurance might find they end up with no cover at all, one expert has warned.

Nick Starling, the Association of British Insurers' director of general insurance and health, explained that people who omit to tell a provider about speeding and drink driving convictions could be in for a nasty shock.

He said: "Cheating to get cheaper insurance puts your cover in jeopardy, with potentially disastrous consequences."

People who are worried about the cost of their car insurance should tell the truth and shop around, Mr Starling added.

Doing so will mean that people get the best possible car insurance policy available and have cover when they need it, he stated.

Last week, Direct Line Insurance warned that people need to make sure their car is roadworthy before they go out driving.

If it is not then they run the risk of invalidating their car insurance policy, the firm advised.
