Chance to win a fuel voucher

Published on 21st August 2008 in Ents

It's that time of year again when hopeful motorists across the UK will be looking forward to the chance to drive away in the car of their dreams with the September new-car registration plate changes.

2008, however, is not an average year for motorists! The global credit crunch and the constant concern for the environment are key factors when choosing a new car this year.

Fuel prices are on average 30 per cent higher than this time last year and are still rising - downsizing now can save more than just the environment this September.

With the government also planning to increase car tax for larger, 'gas-guzzlers' and decrease on more fuel efficient models choosing the right car has never been so important. Some car insurance companies, such as swiftcover.com, even offer 10 per cent off the annual premium for lower emission 'green cars' and can offer online quotes to help beat the credit crunch. So, with September here, it's not all doom and gloom - enjoy the feeling of getting behind the wheel of a new car and look forward to the next year's motoring!

To keep you smiling when you drive this year, swiftcover.com is offering a money-saving green driving bag for your car, containing a carbon offset voucher to offset your car's carbon emissions for the rest of 2008 and a £25 fuel voucher to help beat current fuel prices!

To enter, simply answer the following question:

Apart from September, what other month in the year do the new car registration plate changes occur? a) January, b) March, c) October.
