Drivers may be pricing themselves out of better car insurance deals by not doing one quick sign-up. The electoral register has a more significant effect on your insurance and credit than you may initially think.
According to the latest data from the Electoral Commission, around eight million people in the UK are not accurately registered which could not only impact your ability to vote, but your eligibility for good credit and insurance quotes.
When you sign up for a car insurance quote, the firm will examine your credit history to help create a more complete image of your level of risk to make a claim in the future.
Those with a poor credit history or low credit score are assumed by firms to be more likely to make a claim and thus will be given a higher insurance quote.
