6% of people lie to their broker!

Mini Insurance

A survey by YouGov questioning 2413 people in May 07 found that one in ten motorists could have invalid car insurance.  An incredible 6% said they’d lied on purpose about even basic information like age and address.  3% failed to disclose things like previous driving convictions.

Here’s a list of no-no’s to watch out for:

- Lying: the price you pay is based on the information you give, but so is the validity of your contract.

- Forgetting changes to the status quo at renewal time – changes of job, increased mileage, garaging and so on.

- Medical conditions such as uncorrected eyesight.

- Modifications to the vehicle that aren’t disclosed.
