Motorists who like to secure a bargain when buying comprehensive car insurance may find purchasing a vehicle from Skoda could help them save even more money, if the manufacturer's comments are anything to go by.

The group announced it has introduced a range of new finance deals that will run until the end of the year.

It explained it is keen to offer customers long-term solutions rather than short-term headline promotions.

Under one of the latest deals, people will be able to secure a two-year hire purchase contract with zero per cent APR.

As a result, drivers could end up with a new Octavia S for £229 a month.

Spokeswoman Jacqui Rowley commented: "Skoda customers can benefit from extremely competitive finance products that meet a wide range of customers' needs."

Drivers who take advantage of one of the new finance packages may find they can reduce their costs further by searching for cheap comprehensive car insurance online.

Car insurance customers planning to tow a caravan this summer have been given some advice on how to avoid an accident.

The Association of British Drivers said good weighting between both vehicles will help to ensure the caravan does not snake - a term used to describe when it swings from side to side on the road.

Paul Biggs of the organisation said a full-laden caravan should not exceed 85 per cent of the weight of the car, but manufacturer usually specify a maximum weight as well.

Heavy items should be placed over and in front of the axle in the caravan, rather than high up or at the back.

It was also suggested that drivers should remember it will take longer to stop when towing.

As such, they should not build up too much speed and follow speed limits for caravans, which are often lower than those for cars.

If snaking does occur, Mr Biggs said people should not accelerate or brake but instead loosen the grip slightly on the steering wheel.

Those who want to prepare and possibly save money on their car insurance this summer may find cheaper cover online.
