Having car insurance is a legal requirement, but even when you disregard that particular fact, there are still numerous reasons why it is important for all car owners to have their vehicles insured.

We’re all aware of the sheer number of road accidents which occur daily in the UK, particularly at this time of year when extreme weather can lead to treacherous conditions. Although an accident may not be your fault, the existence of car insurance protects you from having to fork out when another driver damages your car. The same applies when you are at fault – without insurance you would need to pay every penny yourself. When you consider that this includes all damage to other vehicles involved as well as your own, your car insurance premium quickly seems like a bargain!

What about if your car gets stolen? Could you afford to head straight to the nearest dealership and buy a new one? Most people can’t, particularly when recession has a grip on the country and unemployment is at a record high. Again, your premium seems very much worth it when compared to the alternative. Your car could also be damaged when parked outside your home, work or in a public car park for example.

In addition to these obvious benefits, many insurance policies nowadays come with a range of extras. Breakdown cover, insuring a named driver, provision of a courtesy car when yours needs to be repaired and cover when driving abroad could all come in handy. Although car insurance premiums are on the rise, they’re definitely worth it should you need to claim!
