A recent study by Tescocompare.com has revealed that when it comes to traditionally male items, such as cars and technology, men are more likely than women to read the fine print on car insurance . Men were also found to be more likely to check the small print on a mobile phone, broadband or cable contract.
Despite checking the small print, a significant minority of the general public get caught out by the products and services they purchase every year. The study revealed that 1 million Britons have been unable to claim on travel, home or car insurance over the last past year as they were not covered, even though they believed they were.
Commenting on the research, Paul Baxter of Tescocompare.com said: " Insurance polices can be complicated, and it is not surprising that so many people find themselves in a situation where they thought they were covered when in fact they werent. The predication fuelled by many comparison sites to simply purchase car insurance on price alone perhaps contributes to this lack of understanding."
