New Car Registrations and Car Insurance
by: Andrew Bowen
In September 2001 the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
introduced a new number plate registration system that was
designed to last for 49 years. The new change was welcomed not
only by the car dealers but also by the car insurance industry as
the DVLA also decided to issue new car registrations twice a year
instead of once a year.
In the past, new registrations were issued on 1st August every
year. Inevitably this caused a major headache for insurance
companies as so many people required insurance at this time. This
once a year rush for insurance was compounded by the summer
timing when most people, including insurance company employees,
go on holiday. Today, the new registrations are issued in March
and September. This eases the workload for insurance companies
and allows them to more easily staff up for the increase in
calls.
Of course, the old system ran for about 38 years and so there is
still a large population of people who require insurance renewal
on 1st August. So around July, August and September, Insurance
companies are still especially busy and you can generally expect
long call centre waits with a lot of direct companies.
Using the internet instead is a much easier and quicker way of
getting your new car insurance quote. Accept Direct
