Compare Virgin Car Insurance: insurance with a difference

http://uk.virginmoney.com/car-insurance/

First there were records, then there was radio, then there were planes, then there was vodka, then there were phones, then there were trains and now there are cars and car insurance. Yes, Virgin is one of the rising number of companies to have jumped onto the insurance bandwagon which has recently trundled lucratively into town. Others include the Post Office and the supermarket chains Asda and Tesco. Quite what has sparked the trend is complicated, but the increased competition is good news for consumers. This efflorescence of insurance providers has brought with it a reduction in premiums for many drivers.

Virgin Car Insurance: some useful differences

Strangely, it’s not that easy to get to Virgin car insurance from the Virgin site (www.virgin.com): to get there directly the address is uk.virginmoney.com/car-insurance. Even more strangely, when you do get there you’ll notice a picture of a manic-looking man with a toy car on his shoulder in the top left hand corner. But we’ll set that puzzling image aside and concentrate on the services provided. One of Virgin’s specialities is that it doesn’t charge extra for spreading payments. Since interest can add a lot to an insurance premium this could be an advantage if you don’t want to pay in a lump sum. Other reasons in the company’s own account of ‘Why [to] choose Virgin’ include a promise of help round the clock, including breakdown support within the hour. And there is a discount for customers with other kinds of insurance provided by the company.

Before you decide to take out any insurance policy, though, look into as many options with as many companies as possible. And check what consumer sites and magazines have to say. Quotes, and the kind of service you’ll get if you make a claim, can vary significantly from company to company.
