New rules on car insurance

When buying classic car insurance - or any type of motor insurance - you need to be aware of a new ruling on gender which came into effect on 21 December 2012.
The new ruling from the European Court of Justice bans insurers from charging men and women different rates based on their sex.  In the past, young women got cheaper motor insurance because they have fewer costly accidents than young men. This has changed now that the directive has come into force, meaning young women drivers could now find themselves having to pay more for cover.
