Drivers Advised To Get Insurance Quote Before Purchasing New Wheels

Drivers seeking to buy a new or second hand vehicle should always get an insurance quote before they make a purchase, says Swinton, the UK’s leading high street insurance retailer.

Manchester, UK (Advertiser Talk) 21-Aug-2009 — The Government’s new scrappage scheme which offers motorists £2000 for cars over eight years old against a new vehicle combined with huge reductions at dealerships across the UK means now could be the perfect time to snap up a bargain.

However, Swinton, which has seen a 10% increase in the number of enquiries to insure a brand new car in the last month, is warning potential buyers to get a car insurance quote before making a purchase to avoid paying more than they originally planned.

Steve Chelton, insurer development manager at Swinton said: “It’s tempting with all the incentives being offered to buy a brand new or higher spec vehicle but it is vital that motorists do their maths before making a purchase to see how much the vehicle will cost to insure and whether the vehicle falls into a higher tax bracket.

“We would advise speaking to your local broker who will provide you with the most appropriate cheap car insurance quote in terms of value and cover.”
