Halifax Car Insurance: Drivers wasting hundreds of pounds

Halifax Car Insurance has suggested that drivers make an effort to share cars and therefore cut the motoring costs incurred by many different drivers.

According to the bank's report, over ten million cars on Britain's roads during weekday mornings lead to 38 million empty seats overall.

It also claimed that the average cost for a lone driver travelling to work is £1,017 over the course of a year – an outlay that could be cut in two if people were to car share with a colleague.

Of all the people surveyed, 25 to 34-year-olds had the most positive attitude to car sharing, but 18 to 24-year-olds were the group who most widely put it into practice.

For every 100 commuters between the ages of 18 and 24 there were 30 passengers, while for 55 to 64 year-olds only one passenger for every 100 drivers was reported.

Mike Pickard, head of risk and underwriting at Halifax, said: "Passengers in the car not only improve your environmental credentials, they can also act as an extra pair of eyes for you, especially in the morning rush hour when traffic is at its heaviest."

Halifax Car Insurance offers a ten per cent discount to customers who book online and gives a five-year guarantee on repairs and 24-hour emergency assistance.
