According to recent a survey by UK-based insurer
The poll of 1,000 Swinton customers found that motorists are spending more time online looking for inexpensive car insurance. The company attributes the 30-minute spike in shopping time to the financial pressures felt by customers during the current recession.
In recent years, Swinton says, the length of time spent by motorists searching for a car insurance quote had dropped significantly—each year reducing by between five and 15 minutes. This is the first time in five years that the trend has changed.
