A supermarket comparison research by a leading car insurance provider in the UK revealed that men have more likelihood to purchase comprehensive car insurance covers for their vehicles. The company also advised car insurance customers about the advantages of a comprehensive car insurance policy for their cars.

The research suggests that out of the total men drivers, 58 percent were having a comprehensive car cover, while for women, this figure was only 44 per cent. With these findings, the insurance company throws some light on the importance of a comprehensive cover in the event of car thefts, accidents or sudden car breakdowns. It said that a comprehensive cover gives an extra protection for the vehicles in comparison to the other specific covers.

The report form the research also indicates a rise in the purchase of individual policies for comprehensive car covers to 51 percent. This rise can be taken as an indication of a trend for consumers to seek extra protection for their vehicles and at the same time enjoy only slight increase in the premiums.

The company here reminds the UK drivers of the various advantages if they know what exactly their car insurance policy covers and can use it appropriately in the event of a theft, damage or breakdown. The comprehensive level of motor insurance seeks to offer a peace of mind to the drivers with maximum protection for their cars.

A customer while purchasing a car insurance cover must go for a supermarket comparison and find out the best quote from among the different alternatives offered to him. Some companies offer a courtesy car in the event of a breakdown, some provide additional benefits of guarantee of claims for repairs and/or medical expenses. It is for the driver to decide what extent of cover he requires for his vehicle.
