Sheilas' Wheels Car Insurance

Updated: Periodically. Details correct at the time of publication – December, 2008.

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 for Sheila’s Wheels car insurance customers to drive safely you can reduce your premiums by amassing no-claims – which could save you as much as 75 per cent. Despite having many benefits targeting females, men can still take out its policy or women can add on husbands, partners or sons as additional drivers.

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, handbag cover up to £300 and UK only call centres with a claims line that is open 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

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