This week we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking at how to tweak your job title to slash car insurance quotes and cut the cost of motoring. You stand to save some serious cash because insurers base your quote on a risk assessment and your occupation is part of that assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut the cost of motoring tip #20 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Tweak your job title, save on insurance<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Book Theory Test Today<\/strong><\/a> says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not something many motorists are aware of, but altering your occupation slightly could make all the difference when looking for ways to cut the cost of motoring. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not saying flat out lie, but how you word or specify your job role could be crucial to reducing your insurance premium.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s be clear, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not good practice to claim that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a pilot, when in fact you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a sky diver. However, if you do this responsibly you can significantly reduce the cost of motoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before specifying your occupation on an insurance application, Book Theory Test Today recommends asking a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsensible\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 person how they would describe what you do for a living. Would they consider it reasonable for you to describe yourself in that way on an insurance application? If the answer is yes, then go ahead and do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the unemployed trying to slash insurance rates and the cost of motoring, did you know that those listing their occupational status as jobless are likely to pay five times more on insurance than those in employment? That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why it pays to tweak your job title.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help you tweak some of the riskier job roles, Money Saving Expert have developed a useful car insurance job picker tool, which can be accessed via their website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that putting \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbuilder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as your job title will see insurance companies charge you a higher insurance rate? Simply adjusting \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbuilder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccontractor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and you could see your annual insurance premium reduced by \u00c2\u00a330, cutting the cost of motoring for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, next time you come to renew your insurance, find out if there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a different way to specify your occupation.<\/span><\/p>\n
