Motor insurers promise not to charge volunteer drivers a premium
Over 50 car insurance providers have confirmed that they will not charge extra for volunteer drivers. The confirmation was given in an Association of British Insurers survey of its members, as a result of a meeting called by the Big Society de-regulation taskforce in response to concerns raised by Volunteering England. An ABI spokesman said the commitment covers 54 insurance brands representing over 85 per cent of the motor insurance market.
