Driving down car insurance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FOR DRIVERS who use their cars infrequently, the insurance agent Hill House Hammond has moved to cut the soaring cost of insurance. Its new Limited Mileage Policy offers low premiums to people aged 40 and over who drive less than 5,000 miles a year, writes Maria Scott.
The agent, which has found that 25 per cent of all UK motorists do less than 5,000 miles a year, says the new policy offers premiums typically 30 per cent lower than similar mainstream insurance.
A 40-year-old living in the Redhill, Surrey postcode area of RH15 and insuring a 1300cc Ford Escort with comprehensive cover and with three years' no-claims bonuses would pay pounds 203 under the Limited Mileage Policy. This assumes he is only insuring himself.
The policy is underwritten by Municipal Mutual Insurance.
Hill House, owned by Norwich Union, can be contacted on 0345 123111 (charged at local rates).
