Del Boys urged to shop around for car insurance

Mon, 27 Oct 2008

Del Boy could end up paying more for his car insurance than James Bond, according to new research.

A study by Confused.com reveals that despite the fact the Only Fools and Horses trader drives a modest Reliant Robin, living in Peckham means car insurance firms view him as a greater risk.

If he fails to shop around for his car insurance, Del Boy could pay £928.50 a year for his car insurance, compared to as little as £885.65 for the Aston Martin DBS driving Ian Fleming creation.

Will Thomas, head of car insurance at Confused.com, said: "With an increasing amount of people feeling the financial squeeze, as a result of the credit crunch, it is more important than ever to search for the best car insurance deals ."

The average driver could save up to £208 a year by shopping around for their car insurance, he added.

Recently, a YouGov study conducted on behalf of Comparethemarket.com, found that 25 per cent of people have lied about the main driver of a vehicle on their car insurance.
