More new car registrations were recorded last month, which could lead to an increase in the number of people looking for
car insurance quotes.
According to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), new registrations were up 10.8 per cent in June and by 19.9 per cent during the first half of 2010.
This was partially driven by a 25.3 per cent rise in the fleet market and growth was sustained despite the end of the car scrappage scheme.
However, the SMMT expects volumes to slip in the second half of 2010 as a result of challenging economic conditions for car insurance customers.
"Government action to improve access to credit for consumers and businesses will be important in sustaining the momentum of recovery," commented Paul Everitt, chief executive of the SMMT.
The SMMT was established to support the interests of the UK's automotive industry at home and abroad.
