Sheilas’ Wheels Car Insurance

Updated: Periodically. Details correct at the time of publication – May, 2007.

Perhaps most famous for its advertising jingle, Sheila’s Wheels car insurance (also known as ‘Sheila’s Wheels motor insurance’) is actually a purely UK based company with no Australian links – it simply took the name ‘Sheila’ in reference to the Australian term for all women. The company is actually a division of insurance giant esure.com – but with a purely female focus based on research that women have fewer driving accidents and convictions than their male counterparts. Sheila’s Wheels aims to pass on the savings made on a reduced number of claims to its customers.

As an incentive to give Sheila’s Wheels car insurance a try, there is a 10 per cent online discount to all new customers. You can also further reduce your premiums by amassing no-claims – which could save you as much as 75 per cent.

There are a great number of benefits to a Sheila’s Wheels car insurance policy and you can choose between comprehensive cover, third party only or third party fire and theft. If you opt for comprehensive car insurance you will benefit from a free courtesy car while your vehicle is repaired by an approved repairer, guaranteed repair work for five years, a free counselling service and a new car if your vehicle is less than 12 months old and the cost of the damage is more than 60 per cent of the UK list price.

As optional extras you can choose to take out motor breakdown assistance and motor legal protection up to £50,000.
