Rip Off Britain: Series 16: Paying £1 per mile for car insurance

Paying £1 per mile for car insurance

BBC One - Rip Off Britain, Series 16, Paying £1 per mile for car insurance

The young drivers handed a car insurance price hike in the middle of their policy.

Priced off the road: the young drivers handed a car insurance price hike in the middle of their policy.

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville investigate the pay-as-you-go car insurance designed to make motoring affordable for new drivers but which came with mid-contract price rises that ended up costing one teen more than £2,000 for driving less than 2,000 miles. Also, the apartment owners handed enormous bills to pay for their management firm’s overspends – the team hears calls to tighten the rules. And the end of guarantor loans – how customers of one big name could be due a hefty payday.
