Fraud in a time of Recession
Don’t lose your bonus….protect it!!
You have spent a long time – maybe even years trying to earn up it up. It’s valuable to you and helps save you money. So you really don’t want to lose it.
Whether you know it as your No Claims Bonus (NCB) or No Claims Discount (NCD), the discount you get on your car insurance [...]
The benefits of getting older…in terms of car insurance
I agree with the saying ‘certain things get better with age’. It’s certainly true if you have an AXA car insurance policy, a full licence and are over 22 years old (*terms & conditions may apply). If so, you are probably lucky enough to have a ‘Driving of Other Cars’ cover extension on your policy.

57,898 new cars sold so far this year
Maybe it’s just me but who are these people buying new cars? I’d like to get a new car but I’m waiting for my one to explode before I can think about changing it. My car wouldn’t be in the best of shape. I drove into a scrap-yard there recently to get a part for [...]

Last year May was the most dangerous month of the year on Irish roads with 29 people losing their lives. The bank holiday weekend alone accounted for 6 of those tragedies. With this year’s May bank holiday upon us and with a decent weather forecast, there no doubt will be plenty of traffic on our [...]

I normally break into a bit of Cliff Richard when I hit the airport in Dublin at this time of the year. Whether it’s a big [...]
‘Next time, it could be you!’ – Safe driving message from AXA
“I go through a pair of trainers quicker than most athletes… not from wear and tear but due to the blood soaked splatter stains that never wash out”.
- Haunting words spoken by the A&E consultant at a recent AXA Roadsafe Roadshow that was held at Goffs, in Kildare on Thursday 15th April.
He went on to describe [...]
The dummies behind the wheel
How hard are crash test dummies? – Thick skinned and tougher than nails, they have a ‘can do’ attitude and don’t ask any questions. They are the SAS of the mannequin world. One thing is for sure – they pack a lot of punch into their short lives. And their legacy might just save your [...]
