Christmas shoppers should protect themselves with car insurance for when they’re shopping and opportunistic thieves cash in on cars full of presents, Virgin Money has warned. They should be especially on their guard on December 19, the last Saturday before Christmas, which is the worst day of the month for car insurance claims according to Virgin Money car insurance, with 40 per cent more claims than the average day. Car insurance experts believe it is people taking advantage of late night shopping hours and the higher number of presents in people’s cars that are to blame for making the weekend before Christmas the most attractive to thieves. Grant Bather, spokesman for Virgin Money car insurance, said: “Christmas is a time for giving but maybe drivers should be giving the car a miss on December 19 if they want to keep their no-claims bonus. “With more drivers on the road and cars potentially loaded up with presents it can be a dangerous time for claims.
