Zurich car insurance issues valuables warning

Many drivers in the UK habitually leave valuable items in their car, making them easy pickings for thieves, the car insurer Zurich has cautioned.

On average, motorists leave £3.9 billion worth of items in their cars, such as iPods, sat nav systems, toys, CDs and so forth.

A full one in five British drivers' vehicles contain over £200 worth of goods and one in 20 contains over £200 worth.

Roy Seeds, head of motor underwriting at Zurich Insurance said: "It's now common for our cars to be filled with our possessions - not just in-car entertainment and driving gadgets, but even clothes and designer accessories.

"Yet harried, time-poor drivers often fail to realise just how valuable the possessions they leave in their cars are and are not taking the right precautions."

Drivers should definitely not leave valuables in their car and if they have to they should leave them in their boots, added Mr Seeds.

Meanwhile, Zurich has warned Brits that are taking their cars on holiday this summer to check if their insurance policies are valid when driving abroad.
