Car insurance important for motoring adventures

Wed, 23 Jun 2010

New research has shown that driving Route 66, trying a 4x4 off-road adventure and racing a Ferrari are among the most popular motoring experiences for car insurance customers.

A survey by Swiftcover.com found that 40 per cent would like to travel the route from the east to west coast of the US, while 14 per cent dream of testing a supercar .

Other ambitions included driving the winding mountain roads of Switzerland and Tina Shortle, marketing director for swiftcover.com, explained why car insurance is so important for all of these.

She said: "Most people will not be insured to drive their vehicles at full-speed around a race track or rally circuit, or attempt a serious 4x4 obstacle course, so swiftcover.com recommends that people indulge in their motoring adventures by using a reputable experience provider.

"Although swiftcover.com customers will be covered if they take their cars to Switzerland and Italy, we would advise caution when driving through the mountains."

According to AXA, 1.1 million Brits are planning on driving to their holiday destinations this summer.
