Charged £260 to cancel a car insurance policy only two months in..
Brief rundown. Have a modified car so went with specialist modified car insurance. The car is super unreliable and I am to sell it. Buy another car as a runaround, it so happens the car is worth less than £750. Current insurer won't cover me due to the value of the vehicle. So because the company will not cover me I have…

Driving a tractor on a beach.
Okay, bit of an odd one, but hear me out. Let's say a well known site of misery, who have commissioned a well known Parking Company, who are equally known for spreading misery, decide to use their "tractor" to help deliver their activities along the adjacent beach, which, I am led to understand, is not Private. Would the…

Someone just hit my car and drove off
I Parked earlier today around 3pm on a single yellow line to collect my daughter from school. Someone drove by and hit my car, causing dents along the rear. I approached my car without noticing and some people told me they witnessed it and took some photos of the vehicle. Should I make a claim as I was parked on a yellow…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I've been getting my car serviced and MOT'd at the same local garage for the last seven years. Last year they kindly welded a snapped exhaust for free instead of charging me the £200 to get it replaced. 10 months down the line and I get a voucher from a big online car parts…

Someone registering their vehicle and insurance at my home address?
Hi everyone. I need to know whether or not I am in the wrong here because I am getting confused myself! I have a lodger living with me and she is living here only.

where to lease used cars?
Hi folks Have googled a fair bit but have found very little....I was hoping to be able to lease a ''prestige'' nearly new/slightly used car....rather than go the lease a 0km route to save a few bucks.

Car Garage Insurance Disaster
So this is a bit of a mess: My partner crashed his car about 10 months ago, he slipped on some mud on the road and span into the embankment. We didn't tell the insurance because to be honest I didn't realised you could claim on the insurance unless another car was involved. He took it to a garage and they said it was just…

Money from car passengers?
So, following on from the post about car insurance for a new driver, I've decided to buy her a small (cheap to insure) car as it works out better value than insuring her on mine. She'll be driving about 30 miles a day. There is a possibility that she'll be giving a friend a lift a few days a week. How much is a reasonable…
