Festival-goers should check car insurance

As the festival season approaches, Post Office Car Insurance advises travellers to check the terms of their car insurance policy before they travel, and to contact their car insurance provider if they think they will need to change or increase their car insurance cover.

Post Office Car Insurance is reminding people travelling to festivals by car this summer to take some simple precautions such as not leaving their valuables visible. With festival-goers potentially taking with them, mobile phones, personal computers and personal music systems, many could find themselves without adequate car insurance in case of theft or damage if they wish to leave these items in their car without checking their car insurance cover first.

Post Office Car Insurance is also reminding car insurance policy holders to ensure they add any additional names of friends who will be sharing the driving on long car journeys.
