Failure to Report Licence Points a Costly Practice Warns Carrentals.co.uk
UK drivers advised against withholding details from insurance providers by leading car hire comparator.
August 02, 2011 /Automotive PR News/ -- Award-winning car hire comparison website Carrentals.co.uk - the online specialist which helps drivers compare cheap car hire deals from over 50 top name suppliers - this week announces a warning to UK drivers who seek to hide details of driving licence points from insurance companies.
While car insurance quotes and prices continue to go up in the UK, some drivers take a gamble on their car insurance renewals or applications by not reporting points on licences to insurance companies. This has led Carrentals.co.uk to remind drivers that telling insurers about licence points is a requirement and to not do so is to break the law.
Anybody who has had an accident in the past and not reported it, or indeed anyone who has had points added and not reported that either, can discover that their insurer refuses to pay them for incidents and claims. As such, if they then drive without insurance, they will again be operating in breach of UK law.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: "Car insurance prices are no joke these days and seem to be on the up and up permanently - that said, people need to be really careful about keeping their details, including any accidents or points incurred, updated with their insurance companies."
"If involved in any accidents or incidents when using the road which cause a policy to become void drivers must remember that they're susceptible to costly fees and expenses - such as having to pay for other car damage, medical bills, legal fees and more. They can also incur more points on their licences and hefty fines, meaning that they end up paying more money than they saved on their policy through not reporting points in the first place."
