Aviva offers savers cheap insurance as they are better drivers
Aviva is offering cheaper car insurance to its pension savers after analysis found the investors had better driving safety records. Its data shows that regular savers had fewer accidents and "decided to pass the saving on" if they bought car insurance through the company. "If you are the type of person who is organised and thinks about a pension and saving for the future, then you might be less likely to take risks and therefore a better driver," said Gerry Bucke of broker Adrian Flux.
Aviva's statistics show people who save for retirement are less likely to have an accident

Pension savers tend to be safer drivers and should therefore get cheaper car cover, Britain's biggest insurer has decided.

Aviva's statistics show people who save regularly for retirement are less likely to have an accident or claim for a stolen vehicle.

It spotted the trend when it analysed claims data for customers who have both a pension plan and motor cover with the firm.

Aviva then 'decided to pass the saving on'. However, the company does not offer a discount to customers who have a pension with another provider.

Gerry Bucke, manager of car insurance broker Adrian Flux, says: 'If you are the type of person who is organised and thinks about a pension and saving for the future, then you might be less likely to take risks and therefore a better driver.'
