Car Insurance For Women - Sheila's Wheels

Sheila’s Wheels is part of Esure insurance, and as such is a leading car insurer in the UK able to bring all their knowledge and expertise to this women only insurance company. Their quirky brand name, drawn from the name Australian’s affectionately give to all women, is certainly eye catching and gave rise to one of the most effective and attention grabbing launch campaigns of recent times.

They followed the well-trodden path of providing lower insurance premiums for female drivers which is enabled by women’s propensity to have less accidents, less claims and less driving convictions than men, added to which, their general attitude to road safety provides less of a risk to the insurer. But they went further ...

Their all-woman team of managers looked for things to set them apart from the crowd of other women's car insurers and came up with some winners. Amongst them are the fact that women are likely to carry more valuables with them than men, and normal policies don’t reflect this. They increased the basic cover to £300. Another major issue for women is the attitude of garage mechanics, and the perception that they always take advantage of the lone female. Sheila’s Wheels have issued a code of practice that all their repairers have to sign up to, to ensure that they present an understanding and unpatronising manner when women need help the most.

Other benefits include courtesy car whilst your vehicle is repaired by an approved repairer, a maximum no claim discount of 75% and a confidential counselling service (driving related or not!)
