Why do I keep hearing that women in the UK should shop around for insurance?

Everyone should periodically shop around for car insurance. Your company may have offered you a good deal when you signed up, but is it a good deal today? You need to ask that question and see what kind of deals others are offering. However, this year in particular is important for female motorists in the UK. The EU court ruling that car insurance companies can no longer base insurance premiums on gender goes into effect this year. Since men were paying double what women were, a woman can expect to see her car insurance increase by as much as 50 percent. With that kind of major change in the works, shopping around is the smartest move you can make.
