Passenger insurance
So many adverts for new cars and some insurance companies show cars full of friends but when you come to make sure all your passengers are insured, that's an extra that often does not seem to be easily covered.

Black boxes.. the catch?
My son will hopefully get a test sooner or later and will move from cheap learner insurance to an expensive full policy. On the face of it, Black box policies sound good claiming a big discount on the next renewal if the driving was acceptable. But as far as I can see, the box data isn't universal, its specific to the…

Expired driving license AND change of address
My DL has expired and I can see that you can renew this online. I can also see you can change your address online. However, neither option seem to allow you to make both updates at the same time. If I try to change my address it says I can't as the DL has expired and if I try to renew my license it will only renew with my…
