Top tips to keep your car safe this Christmas

11/12/2021  Useful Information All News



With more and more of us hitting the shops in the build up to Christmas, it only feels right to warn people about the dangers of becoming a victim of car theft.

This is why we have put together a few top tips which could help keep your car safe this Christmas:

  • Try to park in a well-lit up area or secure car park
  • Never leave anything in view (this includes loose change)
  • Don't throw your bags on the front seat and then return to complete more shopping
  • Keep anything valuable out of sight- this can include clothing or footwear
  • Always check and double check your car is locked once you have parked up whether that be at the shops or at home (it's easy to forget with lots on your mind)
  • When you arrive home, please again don't leave your presents in the car, even your boot - it's just not worth the risk

Yes, we know a lot of these tips may sound like common sense, but at this time of year and the added stress shopping can have - we all too often make mistakes which could prove costly.

Jigsaw Finance Limited is a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available, but no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product is right for you.

We will receive a commission payment from the lender/finance provider if you decide to enter into an agreement with them. The commission payment received is for the introduction and work in facilitating and arranging the finance for you and is a one-off payment from the lender to Jigsaw. The calculation of this commission is based either on a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow, this is determined and may vary by the commercial agreement Jigsaw has with the lender. We may work with just one lender or a limited selection of lenders when arranging finance. As a Credit Broker, we may also have other commercial arrangements with a lender which do not influence the terms of your finance agreement. We may share some of this commission with the motor retailer.

The amount of commission will be made available to you before signing your finance documents.

All the lenders that we work with pay commissions at different rates, however, the commission received does not affect the amount you will pay under your finance agreement. Our aim is to secure finance for you at the lowest interest rate available from our panel of lenders. Finance may be available from other providers outside of our panel, and you should consider your options before entering into an agreement, we are not able to provide impartial recommendation.
