When Sainsburys speaks the world stops and listens. At least Bansktone News does, because we’re highly impressionable and always glad of a distraction.

The latest pronouncement from the oracular supermarket of that name is that it’s getting more expensive to run a car. Sainsburys Finance claims that motor insurance prices have risen 11% in the last five months alone.

Combined with a 10% rise in fuel costs over the same period, this has helped push the estimated annual costs of running a car up from £2,338 to £2,539.

Fear not, though: Sainsbury’s car insurance manager Ben Typo has some excellent and highly original advice for motorists. Try “shopping around,” for car insurance he suggests.

    What our clients say about us

    Jo was friendly while still professional. She answered any questions and was patient and happy to help. Next steps and cover confirmation could have been a bit clearer. I've had calls from credit hire that I was expecting for replacement bike but they were pushing to do repairs. I was told this would be done by an approved repair. I called just after 9am to notify a claim and was told I would receive a call back within 10 to 15mins. I had to call back an hour later as no one had called back. The lady who answered, Jo, did deal with things straight away and was very helpful
