This blunder could void your car insurance

[super jumbe]

From parliament to primary schools, volunteers play a valuable and vital role in British society.

But if you're a voluntary worker, your goodwill could be having an unexpected impact on your car insurance.

One lovemoney.com reader contacted us after she was told by her insurer that not disclosing voluntary work at her son's school ? even if it did not involve her car ? could void any claims made on the policy.

Indeed, it seems that the rules and regulations surrounding voluntary work and car insurance are anything but clear.

Many car insurers used to insist that motorists inform them of any voluntary work when taking out a policy. From here, prices for volunteers were often inflated, as some insurers defined voluntary driving as 'business miles' rather than 'domestic, social and pleasure'.

However as of August 2011, most insurance providers abandoned this practice and signed up to a new ABI commitment promising volunteer motorists that they would not be charged extra premiums.



Next time before you park your car make shore you have a measuring tape??..

Typical of Insurance companies, very quick to take your money with promises then squirm their way out when it comes to the crunch???????.


The true crooks they charge what they want and no one's stopping them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OFF TOPIC:- SORT OF

Reinsured the house the other month - go compared.com - filled in the form - as for ocupation can't remember excat what put - but put something like technical as no specifc 'Specalist in damaging vechiles' option.

Was reading the policy the other day says on the back something like

"If your a butcher, baker, candlestick maker, fuzz officer, sas, karakte expert, pizza delivery or in the motor trade - go ~~~~ yourself - we can't insure you"

This is AFTER they have taken payment!
