Car Insurance Services You Didn’t Know You Needed

No matter what you do for a living or where you live, chances are you have a lot on your plate. You may be busy with family obligations, busy with work, or simply busy trying to make the most of your life. The problem with being so busy is that sometimes we often forget those important dates in our lives. No, we’re not talking about your anniversary, (although your wife would sure appreciate it if you remembered that date,) we’re talking about those dates that ensure your car is taken care of.

What dates do you need to remember?

• Your MOT renewal date

• Your tax disc renewal date

• The date your car insurance is set to expire

• The dates for scheduled maintenance of your Land Rover

Remembering all of these dates can be a hassle. Some individuals purchase special apps on their phone to send them reminders, some write the dates down on the calendar, and some rely on their spouses or secretaries to remind them.

What if you didn’t have to worry about these reminders? What if there was a service you could take advantage of, for free, that would send you an email or a text when it’s time to renew your MOT or replace certain Land Rover parts? Fortunately, there are such services, and your insurance company probably already provides them. You just have to sign up.

Car Insurance Services You Didn’t Know About

• MOT Renewal- If you have a vehicle on the road that is at least three years old, you have to have a MOT test every year to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive and meets all environmental standards. Unfortunately, this isn’t always easy for car owners to remember. In fact, about 4.7 million drivers miss their renewal date every year, and the majority (79%) state that they simply forgot that they were supposed to renew. Unfortunately, driving with an expired MOT can cost you- up to £1,000. Signing up with your insurance to receive a MOT renewal reminder is easy, and it can save you a lot of money. By providing them with your information, they’ll know when to send you an email or text so you’ll know your MOT expiry date before it sneaks up on you.

• Road Tax Reminder- When does your tax disc expire? If you don’t know, you may want to take advantage of your insurance’s road tax reminder program. Many insurance companies throughout the UK offer this service, and they will send you reminders every six months or 12 months, depending on when you pay your road tax.

• Servicing Reminder- The majority of us live such busy lives that we often take our cars for granted. In fact, if they are running well, we often ignore regular maintenance to save a little time in our schedule. This can be very bad for your Land Rover, as it can lead to failing car parts. Luckily, car insurance companies offer servicing reminders to help you stay on track. This way you will remember to get the oil changed so car parts like your engine don’t seize, check the spark plugs, and change the brake fluid. At the same time, your mechanic will be able to spot potentially costly problems with Land Rover parts before they become too serious.

• Car Insurance Expiration- Every car needs insurance; it’s required by law. But what if you haven’t signed up for automatic renewal? In some cases, this can be a good thing. It gives you the opportunity to explore other options when your current insurance expires to see if you can get a better deal or more services. However, if you simply forget to renew your insurance, this will mean you’re driving your Land Rover, unaware that you are covered. With the reminder service from your current car insurance, this doesn’t have to be a problem. They’ll send you an email or text for free so you can stay on top of what’s going on with your car.

Servicing Land Rover Parts, Renewing Your MOT, and More

Car insurance companies don’t always advertise their services well, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dig deep and take advantage of them. See if your car insurance offers reminders that will help you keep track of your MOT expiry date, when you need to replace car parts, the end of your car insurance, and the renewal date for your tax discs.
