Say yes to cheaper van, home and car insurance

Men who are married often pay less for car insurance, it has been reported.

According to research from Confused.com, males who have walked down the aisle save an average of £106.88 on cover every year against those who have not.

It added that around £82.70 per year was saved between couples over the period, with the group speculating that this might be because women often receive cheaper deals.

Confused.com managing director Debra Williams commented that people should look around for a good deal before committing.

She said: "It is important to remember that car insurance quotes can vary wildly and so shopping around for the best bet is always advised."

Ms Williams earlier this month told homeowners to be careful when performing DIY tasks on their properties.

Indeed, it may be that a botched job could result in a compromised home insurance policy or expensive repairs.
