Dash cameras are quickly becoming ubiquitous in vehicles and here's why you should get one.
Quick and easy to install, a dashcam is a must for ANY driver but new, student drivers can enjoy significant advantages.
Why to get a dashcam?
Discounts: Some insurers offer discounts off your annual car insurance premium with a dash cam fitted. U
Protect yourself: Dash cams can prove your case in the even of any accident or incident, showing exactly who was to blame. This can help protect your no claims bonus and further reduce car insurance costs.
Tracking: Some dash cams allow tracking which helps in the event your car is lost or stolen.
Move from car to car: Dash cams are quick and easy to install and you can move them to any future car you get or other one you drive, meaning you need only ever buy one.
Cost: You can pick up a dash cam from just £25 or even less, although we suggest investing a tad more for better features and recording quality.
