Supermarket
Note:
As of 21 Dec 2012, gender will no longer be used to calculate the
premium.
If you
want to buy women's car insurance right now, we would
recommend going to our article on women's
car insurance in our
'Buyers Guide' section that offers
the most useful advice on this.
Car insurance for woman
drivers can be obtained from a women-only specialist, a non-specialist
or general car insurance provider, or via a price comparison system.
All of these are valid approaches, depending on your preferences and
circumstances.
Just because a motor insurer markets their product directly to women
does not mean that they will automatically provide the best quote
either in terms of price or the quality of the associated cover.
A historic look at this very website confirms this. While we maintained
the car insurance for woman specialist Insurepink here until recently, we
dropped
several other better known car insurance for woman providers much
earlier as they
were not successfully competing with other services here in terms of
completed policy sales. Ultimately, Insurepink went the same way.
This experience underlines the above point that often non-women only
providers provide more attractive rates. This is particularly the case
for price comparison systems that will check several thousand prices at
once of which only a handful will be car insurance
for woman
specialists. Generally, the best deals obtained in this way are not
from gender-specific providers.
Having said that, an insurance company that specifically targets women
and tailors their car insurance for woman package to be more attractive
to female drivers does have something to recommend it and price is only
one part of the decision process. Certainly, we have always argued here
that using price only to determine choice is unhelpful. However, users
of this site have not tended to take this position, as referred to
above.
Taking account of this, perhaps the optimal approach to get the
best car insurance for woman quotes here would be to check a price
comparison site of your choice and to compare it to a direct car
insurance that's been populah women here - that's M&S car insurance
(link below). If they are a little more costly than the best quote from
the price
comparison site, you may still decide that the cover on offer from them
is superior and that it merits a slightly higher price tag.
Certainly, there is no need to shy away from filling in your details on
quote forms twice to get good car insurance for woman
drivers. It
only takes a moment or two and the above approach, in our view, is the
best way to find female motor cover here.
In the event that price is your main focus when you search for car
insurance for woman cover then we would suggest that you go straight to
our own price comparison system which you can access via the links on
this page. This remains, in fact, by far the most popular choice on
this website.
