/24-7PressRelease/ - May 25, 2005 - Up to 10% of drivers have lied during a car insurance application to lower their insurance premiums, according to research released by RAC Financial Services.
The most common untruth is that the car is kept more securely than it is. Others involve under-estimating the car value, lying about its performance or giving the wrong address. However, many insurance policies will be invalid if the details given are incorrect. It is possible to save money by shopping around and comparing cover - companies like QuoteA will do this on your behalf.
