General insurance plays a vital role in the modern economy.
It lets individuals and businesses minimise the impact of unexpected and unwelcome future events, and helps them organise their lives and businesses with greater certainty. It is an offence to drive your car or allow others to drive it without insurance. The ABI's information sheet on motor insurance looks at the different types of cover available and how premiums are calculated. It also gives advice on what to do when making a claim and how to beat car thieves. On holiday, thing's aren't always plain sailing.
