May 15, 2012 Posted Under: Auto Insurance World  

Steves latest installment comes to us direct from Giants Causeway, Northern Ireland as he looks forward to the Relentless International North West 200.

Unfortunately he wont be able to stick around for the weekend as he is jetting off to Le Mans for the next round of the MotoGP.

Can Valentino Rossi make the podium again after his less than thrilling form this year? More to the point, can our very own Cal Crutchlow continue his run of good form? Steve sure hopes so, almost as much as hes hoping for sunshine at Le Mans

Does My Credit Card Cover Collision Damage When Renting A Car?

May 4, 2012 Posted Under: Auto Insurance World  

If you frequently rent cars, it pays to be aware of some of the “hidden rules” regarding insurance coverage.

One way you may be covered for rental car damage is simply to take a policy out when you rent the car.
