Mike M asked:


I am renting a car for 5 days. I’m not sure if my own personal car insurance covers for a rental, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Its almost $100 for the insurance that they offer! Seems like a trap. Is it absolutely necessary to purchase it? Thanks

There are a number of ways in which you can protect your car from being targeted unnecessarily by joy riders and thieves. Here are 8 tips that we have compiled, they may seem obvious but it is often little mistakes than can lead to great expense and heartache.

Like the day you forget to lock the boot, or the time you left the car running while you nipped to the cash machine.

Take a look at our list of how to keep your car as safe as you can.



When you park your car in a car park that requires a ticket in order to exit, make sure you take the ticket with you.

Do not leave any possessions on display; when you leave valuables or possessions in your car make sure you put them in the boot and lock it. If you do not have room in the boot try to hide any valuables under the seats. Mobiles, cigarettes, CD’s and bags are all prime targets for thieves.

Always try and park in a well-lit and public place, or in a car park that has a security guard or cameras in order to deter thieves and joy riders.

Always double-check that you have shut all the windows including the sunroof, as it is easy for a thief to get in by using the sunroof. Finally, double check that you have locked all the doors, and the boot before leaving your vehicle.

Never leave your keys in the ignition, even for a moment while you pop into a shop or to the cash machine. It only takes 3 seconds for a thief to get in and drive off.

Have the registration number of your car etched into every window. This will discourage thieves, as it increases their workload.

Look into getting a good steering wheel lock and an alarm this acts as a deterrent as it will delay a potential thief. Also, many, insurance companies will give discounts on your premium if you have a quality security device fitted.

If you park your car in a driveway at night, it may be a good idea to invest in some good gates or a removable bollard.

Don’t use your mobile when driving.

Im a sinlge mother and my bills are more than my income. I seriously have to choose between food or car insurance. i cant take the bus to work the schedule doesnt work out….Im scared Im going to get pulled over. What do I do?
If I dont drive, I dont work, and my daughter and I will be homeless.
I cant beleive you people who have good jobs and education look at the world of poverty thru rose colored glasses. you sit up on your pedastool and judge someones situation without knowing the limitations im dealing with. I cannot take the bus to my job. To get there on time, it would take me 2 hours and 3 transfers and in order to do that I would have to leave at 5am and the busses dont run that early. A bike is not an option, its to far. cant get a scooter, I can afford it. My car is all I got and its only worth about 300 dollars. If I lose this job I will have my girl on the streets. I have to get to work! and no co workers will drive me.
So if I decide not to drive, I lose the job and then I will get judged for being on welfare.
Are there any ‘po people I can talk to?

Zarahel asked:


I pay around $300 for both the car (2001 Hyundai sonata) and the insurance, but me and my husband are having our second child and we know that we need something bigger but cannot find an suv for less than $300, then we still have to pay for insurance. Is anyone out there that pays less than that for a good suv? Thanks for the help

Let’s say for a young single person who has been driving for 5 years with a 2 year old car.
How can someone afford insurance with a tight budget?

Valerie L asked:


I am moving to Reno in August and will be switching car insurance companies. Wondering what people thought was the best car insurance company and if anyone know what type of cost I should expect on average. I am from NJ, so definitely hoping it will be cheaper than what I currently pay.

Thanks!

Trombone asked:


I have recently fallen into hard credit rating times due to a recently failed business of mine. I need to shop around for new car insurance and other than the bad credit would normally get a great rate (no tickets, accidents, 30+, decent salary). I’ve heard mention of certain car insurance companies that will not pull your credit rating. Know of any?
