elephant.co.uk understands the costs of city centre driving, and can offer competitive prices for drivers who are traditionally paying higher premiums.
The difference is still noticeable in Scotland, with a driver living in Glasgow (G69) paying 22% more than the same driver based in Inverness (IV1). The motorist in Inverness would pay £186.90, and the same car in Glasgow would cost £227.81, an increase of £40.91.*
elephant.co.uk has 5 top tips to help prevent theft and keep your insurance premiums down.
- If you have a garage, leave your car in it or on a driveway instead of on the street. This will reduce the likelihood of your car being stolen or broken into.
- If you have to park your car on a street, make sure it is well lit. This will help to deter thieves.
- If you don't already have one, consider fitting an approved anti-theft system such as an immobiliser and an alarm. Also use a good quality steering lock.
- If you are able to detach your stereo, take it with you when you leave the car. Don't just leave it for a thief to find in the glove box.
- Never leave any of your belongings on display in the car, as they can attract opportunistic thieves.
