Research has shown that drivers are paying out up to £300 million per year making changes to the details their car insurers hold.
Almost 60% of drivers, some 14 million people, make amendments to their policy mid-way through the term, car insurance companies are cashing in on this charging fees totalling £333 million, this is according to price comparison service uSwitch.com.
The average charge for making changes to car insurance policy details is £22. On average the cost for cancelling a policy is £38, failure to amend policies can result in your insurance policy being void, so it’s a catch 22 situation.
