Car Insurance (Under 25s)
Is £1,500-2,500+ really the lowest I'm going to be able to find for car insurance? If I can get lower please point of some times for example the type of car to purchase etc. Really disheartened by the cost of insurance for young-drivers being so so expensive.

Buying a Car...No idea!
would be grateful for some help as I have no idea where to start. I have a Vauxhall Mervia I inherited which, at almost 10 years old, is beginning to cost me money. Prior to that, I always had whatever car my now ex husband thought appropriate! I have about £6k to spend on a 'new' car. My needs: - 4 doors. - boot size not…

Car Fuel Budgeting - Consumer Fuel Cards?
I roughly spend £100 a month on fuel. I would like to take this out of my current account on pay day and have it in another account that I only use for fuel and ideally I would leave the card in the car permanently. I'm a bit reluctant to do this with a current account card. Thought about pre-paid cards but not convinced.…

MOT & tax about to run out
My MOT runs out today and I haven't been able to book my car in until Friday (2 August). That's fine as I can just not use the car and then drive it to the garage for the MOT as it's pre-booked so legal. But my tax runs out on 31 July, and I can't renew without an MOT certificate. The DVLA say you can tax within 14 days,…

Break down on Sunday - no garages open
Hello, My car has broken down outside my house but I have auto aid cover. I don't think they will be able to fix it at roadside, I think it is the starter motor or alternator. I've checked battery and it has a full charge. I've been looking for somewhere for them to tow it to but all my local garages are closed on Sunday?…

My car was keyed down two panels some time ago. Due to the risk of having it happen again I did not have it repaired.
